Israeli Raid on West Bank Leaves 20 Palestinians Dead, Including Children

Israeli forces have conducted a major raid in the occupied West Bank, leaving at least 20 Palestinians dead, including a disabled person and several children. The operation, which began on Wednesday, has been described as the most intense in decades. The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) has reported the deaths, while the Qatari news channel Al Jazeera has highlighted the severe consequences of the Israeli siege on Palestinian cities. The siege has resulted in a lack of essential services, including water, electricity, and internet access. Israel claims the operation is targeting terrorism in Jenin and Tulkarem, but the scale of the operation and its impact on civilian life have drawn widespread condemnation.
