Israeli security forces killed five Palestinians during an early morning raid Monday in the normally quiet city of Jericho, amid the worst violence in the West Bank in nearly two decades.
JERICHO, West Bank — The Israeli army said two of the killed were captured on CCTV footage last month preparing to attack a Jewish-run restaurant on the main road outside Jericho with assault-style weapons and had been the target of an intensive manhunt. It described two of the dead as members of Hamas’s military wing.
Israel confiscated the bodies of the five slain men, while the IDF reported no Israeli casualties. Soldiers have also erected checkpoints around Jericho, creating hours-long waiting lines as they search vehicles and check identification.
Residents of Aqbat Jabar condemned Israel's operations as collective punishment and said the violence would not end until the occupation of Palestinian land did.“The occupation is the problem,” said Jamal Omar, chair of the committee charged with the Aqbat Jabr refugee camp administration. “All Palestinians are now afraid for their children.”deep political void among Palestinians
