JENIN REFUGEE CAMP, West Bank (AP) - Israeli troops shot and killed a Palestinian schoolteacher and a militant during a military raid in the occupied West Bank early Thursday, Palestinian officials said, the latest deaths as Israeli-Palestinian violence continues to surge.

The Palestinian Health Ministry identified the dead as Jawad Bawaqna, 57, and Adham Jabarin, 28. They were shot in the Jenin refugee camp in northern West Bank.

Bawaqna's school, the Hashad Secondary School for Boys, identified him as a physical education teacher and father of six. A statement from the school said Bawaqna left his apartment during the raid Thursday at dawn with two of his children to help provide first aid to Jabarin, who had been shot right outside his home.

An Israeli sniper killed him on the spot, the school said.

The local branch of the Islamic Jihad militant group claimed Jabarin as a fighter.

The Israeli military said soldiers operating in the Jenin camp came under heavy fire and forces shot back. The military had no comment on the teacher's death, saying only that "hits were identified" - meaning that people were shot.

Palestinian media reported that the Israeli forces arrested two sons of a local leader of Islamic Jihad in Jenin.

"I have four children, and all of them are wanted by Israel," said Mohammed Jabarin, Adham's father. "We just want to live as free people like any other nation in the world."

Tensions have soared in the West Bank, where the Israeli military has been conducting near-nightly arrest raids since last spring after a wave of Palestinian attacks against Israelis killed 19 people. Another 10 Israelis were killed in a second string of attacks later last year.

Israel says the raids are meant to dismantle militant networks and thwart future attacks. The Palestinians see them as further entrenchment of Israel's open-ended, 55-year occupation of lands they seek for their future state.

Thursday's deaths put at 17 the number of Palestinians killed by the Israeli military in the West Bank since the beginning of 2023.

Nearly 150 Palestinians were killed by Israeli fire in the West Bank and east Jerusalem in 2022, according to figures by the Israeli rights group B'Tselem, making it the deadliest year since 2004.

Israel says most of the dead were militants. But Palestinian stone-throwers, youths protesting the incursions and others not involved in confrontations also have been killed.

JENIN, West Bank, Jan 19 (Reuters) - Israeli troops shot dead two Palestinians, one a teacher and one a gunman, in the occupied West Bank on Thursday during a raid in the flashpoint city of Jenin, Palestinian medics and a witness said.

Violence in the West Bank has surged over the past year, which according to the United Nations has been the worst since 2005, following stepped up raids by Israel in response to a spate of Palestinian street attacks in its cities.

At least 17 Palestinians, including militants and civilians, have been killed by Israeli forces in the West Bank since Jan. 1.

The Israeli military said its forces had come under heavy fire by Palestinian gunmen during a counter-terrorism operation in Jenin on Thursday and had returned fire. The reports about the death of the teacher were being examined, it said.

The Palestinian Health Ministry confirmed the death of the teacher and of the gunman, who was later identified by the Palestinian Islamic Jihad group as one of its members.

Farid Bouaqneh, 31, son of the 57-year-old teacher Jawad Bouaqneh said the gunman was shot outside the family house and that he and his father went out to help the militant.

"My father went out to help the man, to provide first aid," Bouaqneh told Reuters. "We dragged him (the gunman) inside and my father was shot," Bouaqneh said, pointing at his upper body while standing at a doorway with a blood-stained floor.

One Israeli soldier was wounded, the military said.

U.S.-brokered peace talks aimed at establishing a Palestinian state in the West Bank, Gaza and East Jerusalem side by side with Israel, broke down in 2014.

Prospects of their revival have dimmed further since Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu returned to power in December at the head of a far-right government, many of whose members are opposed to Palestinian statehood. His cabinet has set the expansion of Israeli settlements on West Bank land as one of its priorities.

The White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan was expected to meet on Thursday with Israeli and Palestinian leaders and stress Washington's commitment to the two-state solution, spokesman John Kirby said on Wednesday.

JERUSALEM, Jan 6 (Reuters) - Israel said on Friday it would take retaliatory steps in response to a Palestinian bid to involve the International Court of Justice in the decades-old conflict.

The measures decided on by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's right-wing security cabinet include using Palestinian money to compensate victims of Palestinian militant attacks and imposing a moratorium on Palestinian construction in some areas of the Israeli-occupied West Bank.

This comes as a "response to the Palestinian Authority's decision to wage political and legal war against the State of Israel", said Netanyahu's office.

Last week, following an appeal by the Palestinians, the U.N. General Assembly asked the Hague-based World Court to give an opinion on the legal consequences of Israel's 55-year-old occupation of Palestinian territories.

Israel captured the West Bank, Gaza and East Jerusalem - areas the Palestinians want for a state - in the 1967 Middle East war. It withdrew from Gaza in 2005 but, along with neighbouring Egypt, controls the enclave's borders. The Palestinian Authority (PA) has had limited self-rule in the West Bank under 1990s interim peace deals.

The World Court is the top U.N. court dealing with disputes between states. Its rulings are binding, though it has no power to enforce them.

Israel, which collects tax money on behalf of the PA, would use 139 million shekels ($39 million) from PA funds to compensate victims of Palestinian militant attacks and would also offset the stipends the PA pays to Palestinians who carried out attacks and their families, said Netanyahu's office.

The moratorium on Palestinian building, it said, would be for a part of the West Bank called Area C, which is under full Israeli control.

"These decisions are condemned and rejected both in relation to money and other measures they are planning," said Nabil Abu Rudeineh, spokesman for PA President Mahmoud Abbas. ($1 = 3.5421 shekels)

Nine Palestinians have been killed during an Israeli military raid in the occupied West Bank - the deadliest in years - Palestinian officials say.

A woman aged 61 was reported among the dead in the flashpoint town of Jenin.

The Israeli military said its troops went in to arrest Islamic Jihad "terror operatives" planning "major attacks".

The Palestinian presidency accused Israel of a "massacre" and later announced it had ended co-ordination with Israel on security matters.

A 10th Palestinian was meanwhile shot and killed during a confrontation with Israeli troops in the town of al-Ram, near Jerusalem, as residents protested against the Jenin raid, Palestinian officials said.

Overnight, Israel said it carried out airstrikes against Palestinian militants in Gaza after two rockets were fired into Israel. No group in Gaza has claimed responsibility for the rockets, both of which were intercepted by Israeli air defence systems.

The scale of the bombing in Gaza is not yet clear, although the AFP news agency said there were no reported injuries on either side.

Tensions have recently risen in the West Bank, as the Israeli military continues what it describes as an anti-terrorism offensive that began last year following a series of deadly attacks in Israel.

Heavy gunfire and explosions echoed across the crowded, urban Jenin refugee camp, as fierce battles between Palestinian militants and Israeli forces raged for three hours on Thursday morning.

The Palestinian health ministry identified three of those killed as Magda Obaid, 61, Saeb Izreiqi, 24, and Izzidin Salahat, 26. Twenty people were also wounded, four of them seriously, it said.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said its troops entered Jenin to arrest an Islamic Jihad "terror squad", who it accused of being "heavily involved in planning and executing multiple major terrorist attacks on Israeli civilians and soldiers".

It said forces surrounded a building and that three armed suspects were "neutralised" after they opened fire, while a fourth suspect surrendered. The IDF said troops were shot at by other Palestinian gunmen and returned fire, hitting targets. It added it was looking into "claims regarding additional casualties".

Islamic Jihad and Hamas said their fighters had targeted the troops with gunfire and improvised explosive devices.

The house which the IDF said was being used as a hideout by the Islamic Jihad cell was still smouldering where furniture inside caught fire.

The outer walls on the ground floor were reduced to rubble, leaving the taps and sink of a bathroom exposed. The upper floor was meanwhile pocked with bullet holes, while the stairwell contained a pool of blood.

Aisha Abu al-Naj, 73, who lives next door, told the BBC that her house shook during the raid and that she and her family feared for their lives.

"We were afraid. I saw the army and then I couldn't open or look through the window. It was a scary situation," she said.

"There were some young Palestinians next to our building who then came and surrounded it. They shot at them. And then there was a lot of people who were killed."

Magda Obaid's daughter said her mother also lived near the targeted house, and that she was shot in the neck as she peered out of her window to see what was happening.

The official Palestinian news agency Wafa reported that seven youths were shot and wounded while attempting to prevent the Israeli forces from entering Jenin, and that the troops "completely destroyed" the Jenin Camp Club.

Taxi driver Mohammed Ammori said he had been talking to a friend when Israeli troops pulled up beside a building close to the club in cars and a lorry.

"We heard gunshots. We fled into the Jenin club and we stayed under siege there for three hours."

He added: "After about an hour, military bulldozers destroyed cars on both sides of the road, then destroyed the club's wall."

Palestinian Health Minister Mai al-Kaila said Palestinian Red Crescent ambulances were initially unable to reach the wounded because Israeli troops restricted access to the scene.

The children's ward of a local hospital was also hit by Israeli tear gas, she said. The IDF told AFP news agency that there was activity not far away and that it was possible some tear gas entered through an open window.

As funerals took place, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas declared three days of national mourning in response to what his spokesman called a "massacre" happening "amidst international silence".

"This is what encourages the occupation government to commit massacres against our people in full view of the world," Nabil Abu Rudeineh said.

Jenin Deputy Governor Kamal Abu al-Rub told AFP that residents were living in a "real state of war" and that Israeli forces were "destroying everything and shooting at everything that moves".

Top Hamas official Saleh al-Arouri said that "the response of the resistance will not be late in coming".

Later, the Palestinian Authority declared that security co-ordination with Israeli authorities "no longer exists as of now". A statement said the decision was taken by the leadership "in light of the repeated aggression against our people, and the undermining of signed agreements".

United Nations Middle East envoy Tor Wennesland said he was "deeply alarmed and saddened" by the violence.

"Since the beginning of this year, we are continuing to witness high levels of violence and other negative trends that characterized 2022. It is crucial to reduce tensions immediately and prevent more loss of life," he added.

At least 30 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces in the West Bank so far this year, including militants and civilians, as the military continues operations there.

Last year in the West Bank more than 150 Palestinians were killed, nearly all by Israeli forces. The dead included unarmed civilians, militant gunmen and armed attackers.

A series of attacks by Palestinians and Israeli Arabs targeting Israelis, as well as militant gunfire at troops during arrest raids, meanwhile killed more than 30 people including civilians, police and soldiers.

This source seems surprisingly neutral and not overly supportive of Israel and anti-Palestine. I expected it to be very pro Israel heavy because republicans in the U.S. tend to sympathize with the Israelis and liberals tend to support Palestine.

Two Palestinians were killed Wednesday in separate violent confrontations with Israelis in the occupied West Bank, Palestinian authorities said, one during an Israeli military arrest raid in the territory's north and another after stabbing and wounding an Israeli civilian at a southern settlement.

Wednesday's violence was the latest in a surge in attacks in the West Bank, following the deadliest year for Palestinians in the territory in 18 years.

During a pre-dawn Israeli military incursion into the hardscrabble Balata refugee camp in the city of Nablus, Israeli forces shot 21-year-old Ahmed Abu Junaid in the head and he died several hours later, the Palestinian Health Ministry said.

The Israeli army reported a gunfight between Palestinian militants and Israeli security forces in Balata refugee camp, acknowledging that a Palestinian was hit by Israeli fire. Palestinian health officials said that Israeli special forces surrounded a house in the congested camp during the arrest operation and unleashed live fire, tear gas and stun grenades at a crowd of young men.

The Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigade - an armed militia affiliated with Fatah, the secular political party that controls the Palestinian Authority - claimed Abu Junaid as a fighter. Pictures of him brandishing a rifle were shared widely on social media.

Later on Wednesday, a Palestinian assailant stabbed a 30-year-old Israeli at a settlement in the southern West Bank before being shot and killed by an Israeli passer-by, Israeli paramedics said. The Israeli victim was hospitalized for moderate wounds but remains fully conscious, authorities said. The Palestinian Health Ministry identified the assailant as Sanad Samamreh from the southern Palestinian village of al-Dhahiriya.

The attack took place at the Havat Yehuda outpost, an illegal settlement near the flash point city of Hebron. Israel has constructed dozens of Jewish settlements that are home to around 500,000 Israelis who live alongside around 2.5 million Palestinians in the occupied West Bank. The Palestinians and most of the international community view the settlements as a violation of international law.

Israeli military raids have surged in the West Bank since last March, when the army began an operation to curb a wave of Palestinian attacks within Israel last spring that killed 19 Israelis. At least 146 Palestinians were killed by Israeli security forces in 2022 in the West Bank and east Jerusalem, according to Israeli human-rights group B'Tselem. Last year's death toll was the highest since 2004, during a wave of intense violence known as the Second Intifada, or Palestinain uprising.

The Israeli army says most of the Palestinians killed have been militants. But stone-throwing youths protesting the incursions and others not involved in confrontations have also been killed.

Israel says the raids are meant to dismantle militant networks and thwart future attacks. The Palestinians see them as further entrenchment of Israel's 55-year, open-ended occupation of the West Bank.

Israel captured the West Bank, along with east Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip, in the 1967 Mideast war and the Palestinians seek those territories for a future state.

One interesting thing that this article sheds light on is perhaps what the other side is leaving out. While the other side may be speaking all facts, they may be leaving out critical components of the story that don't promote their narrative. This piece uses diction that makes the conflict seem very harsh (don't get me wrong, it is) but their diction seems to churn up stronger emotions and feelings of empathy towards the victims.

Israeli forces killed nine Palestinians and wounded several others in the West Bank city of Jenin on Thursday, the Palestinian Ministry of Health said, prompting the Palestinian Authority to suspend its security coordination with Israel.

Hours after the Jenin raid, a tenth Palestinian was killed in what Israel Police called a "violent disturbance" near Jerusalem.

The death toll makes Thursday the deadliest day for Palestinians in the West Bank in over a year, according to CNN records. It brings the number of Palestinians killed by Israeli forces this year to 30, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health figures. That toll includes militants being targeted in Israeli raids, individuals who attacked Israelis, and bystanders, CNN reporting shows.

Nine Palestinians, including an elderly woman, were killed during an Israeli raid of the Jenin refugee camp, the Palestinian Ministry of Health said.

Israeli security forces said they were operating in Jenin Thursday to apprehend a "terror squad belonging to the Islamic Jihad terror organization," saying in a statement that it killed three "terrorists."

"The Islamic Jihad terror operatives were heavily involved in executing and planning multiple major terror attacks, including shooting attacks on IDF soldiers and Israeli civilians," the joint statement from the Israel Defense Forces, Israel Security Agency and Border Police said.

The statement said two armed suspects were "neutralized" while fleeing and that a third was neutralized at the scene. Another suspect surrendered, they said.

Israeli forces reported no injuries on their side, but said they were aware of "claims regarding additional casualties during the exchange of fire" and were investigating.

The Palestinian Red Crescent (PRC) said Israeli forces initially prevented medics from entering Jenin camp, making it difficult to reach injured individuals, four of whom were in critical condition.

The PRC said Israeli forces also fired tear gas canisters towards the Jenin Government Hospital, causing inhalation injuries among children.

Later on Thursday, a 22-year-old Palestinian man was shot and killed by Israeli troops in Al-Ram near Jerusalem, the Palestinian Ministry of Health said, making him the tenth Palestinian killed that day.

Israel Border Police said they were responding to a "violent disturbance" in the city and that "a terrorist who shot fireworks from a short range at our forces "was neutralized." The force said in a statement that one of its officers had also fired at and hit a second person who allegedly shot fireworks at them.

On Friday Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said on Twitter he had informed his security teams to "prepare for action with a variety of offensive measures and high-quality targets, in case it is necessary to continue to act - until peace is restored to the citizens of Israel."

The militant group Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) on Friday has taken responsibility for firing rockets towards Israel overnight Thursday, the leader of the group in Gaza, Sheikh Khaled Al-Batsh, told crowds.

Al-Batsh said Friday that the PIJ's armed wing, Al-Quds Brigades, fired rockets in response to the deadly raids in Jenin by the Israeli Defense Forces, while Hamas' armed wing, Al-Qassam Brigades, "fired anti-aircraft missiles at Israeli planes that raided sites in the Strip."

"The plot today aims to allow the enemy to swallow the West Bank, build settlements and annex lands, to gradually impose its alleged policy, as happened in the Golan Heights, Jerusalem, and all areas that are subject to settlement," Al-Batsh said in Gaza.

The group also said "the way to restore rights and dignity and expel the occupation is through fighting only."

Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Muhammad Shtayyeh has called on the United Nations and international human rights organizations to "intervene urgently to provide protection ... and stop the bloodshed of children, youth and women."

The Palestinian Authority also announced it will cease security coordination with Israel starting immediately, its Deputy Prime Minister Nabil Abu Rudineh told a news conference in Ramallah in the wake of the raid.

"In light of the repeated aggression against our people and the flouting of the signed agreements, including security ones, we consider that security coordination with the Israeli occupation government no longer exists as of now," Abu Rudineh said.

The Islamic Jihad welcomed the Palestinian's Authority's decision to cancel the security coordination with Israel, and urged Arab countries to stop the normalization of relations with Israel.

Coordination between Israel and the Palestinians involves a range of civilian and security matters, including sharing of some intelligence for security operations targeting militant groups - seen as key to preventing terror attacks.

But Palestinian Authority leadership has come under pressure to cut the coordination, especially over the past year which has seen some of the highest levels of violence and death for both Palestinians and Israelis in years.

The Palestinian Authority previously suspended security coordination for several months in 2020, after Israel announced plans to annex parts of the West Bank as part of former President Donald Trump's peace plan. The annexation did not proceed and security coordination resumed.

Last year was the deadliest for both Palestinians in the West Bank and for Israelis in nearly two decades, CNN analysis of official statistics on both sides showed.

Israel's top military officer told CNN "fighting terrorism is a complex mission," in the wake of Thursday's fatal Israeli raid. Herzi Halevi, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) chief of staff, was speaking to CNN's Hadas Gold shortly after the raid, and before he had been fully briefed on it.

An IDF spokesperson later told CNN the military was responding to intelligence about an imminent attack.

"We went into Jenin in daylight," the spokesperson said, underlining that the decision to operate in daylight rather than overnight, as the IDF usually does, shows how "urgent" the mission was.

When the forces arrived at the targeted building they "came under heavy fire and returned fire."

The suspects were barricaded in a house when the IDF arrived, "so in addition the forces used an anti-tank shoulder-fired missile."

"We are aware of reports a woman in her 60s, to our sorrow, was killed during the operation. We do not yet know on whom to assign responsibility, who fired and where she was," the spokesperson added.

Israel is increasing its defensive posture against Palestinian militant attacks in the wake of the raid, the Ministry of Defense said.

The Israeli Defense Forces told CNN on Friday that Gaza militants fired seven rockets towards Israel overnight Thursday that entered Israeli air space.

Four were intercepted and three exploded in an open area, the IDF said, adding that several more had been launched but exploded inside the Gaza Strip.

Israel said earlier that in response to the rockets from Gaza, it launched air strikes targeting an "underground rocket manufacturing site belonging to the Hamas terrorist organization in Maghazi in the central Gaza Strip."

"This strike will significantly impede Hamas' intensification and armament efforts," it said in a statement posted on the force's official Telegram channel.

JENIN REFUGEE CAMP, West Bank (AP) - Israeli forces killed at least nine Palestinians, including a 60-year-old woman, and wounded several others during a raid in a flashpoint area of the occupied West Bank on Thursday, Palestinian health officials said, in the deadliest day in years in the territory.

The violence occurred during what Palestinian health officials described as a fierce, daytime operation in the Jenin refugee camp, a militant stronghold of the West Bank that has been a focus of nearly a year of Israeli arrest raids. The conflict spiked this month, with 29 Palestinians killed since the start of the year. It was not immediately clear how many of those killed Thursday were affiliated with armed groups.

The fighting comes weeks into Israel's new government, its most right-wing ever, which has pledged to take a hard line against the Palestinians and ramp up settlement construction on lands the Palestinian seek for their hoped-for state. It also comes days before U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken is set to arrive in the region and push for steps that might improve daily life for the Palestinians.

The Israeli military said it was conducting the rare daytime operation because of intelligence it had received that a militant grouping linked to the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, which has a major foothold in the camp, was set to carry out imminent attacks against Israelis. A gun battle erupted, during which the military said it targeted the militants. At least one of the dead was identified by Palestinians as a militant.

Images published by Palestinian media showed the charred exterior walls of a two-story building and cinderblocks and other debris scattered on a street. The military said it entered the building where the suspects were located to detonate explosives it said were being used by the suspects.

Palestinian Health Minister May Al-Kaila said paramedics were struggling to reach the wounded amid the fighting. She also accused the military of firing tear gas at the pediatric ward of a hospital, causing children to choke. Video from the hospital showed women carrying children out of hospital rooms and into the corridor. The military said tear gas had likely wafted into the hospital from the clashes nearby.

Jenin hospital identified the woman killed as Magda Obaid and the Israeli military said it was looking into reports of her death. The Palestinian Health Ministry earlier identified another one of the dead as Saeb Azriqi, 24, who was brought to a hospital in critical condition after being shot, and died from his wounds. And the Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigade - an armed militia affiliated with Fatah, the secular political party that controls the Palestinian Authority, claimed one of the dead, Izz al-Din Salahat, as a fighter. The ministry said at least 20 people were wounded.

Internationally-backed Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas declared three days of mourning and ordered flags at half-staff. Nabil Abu Rudeineh, a spokesman for the Palestinian Authority, condemned the violence, calling on the international community to speak out against it.

Akram Rajoub, the governor of Jenin, told The Associated Press the military prevented medical teams from evacuating the wounded and fired tear gas that seeped into the government hospital, affecting infants and interrupting surgeries. The military said forces closed roads to facilitate their operation, which may have complicated the efforts of rescue teams to reach the wounded.

"We ask that the international community help the Palestinians against this extremist right-wing government and protect our citizens," he said.

The deaths drew condemnation from neighboring Jordan as well as from the militant Islamic Hamas group that rules the Gaza Strip.

The Islamic Jihad branch in the coastal enclave has repeatedly fought against Israel, most recently in a fierce three-day clash last summer that killed dozens of Palestinians and disrupted the lives of hundreds of thousands of Israelis. Tensions surrounding violence in the West Bank have in the past spilled over to Gaza.

"The response of the resistance to what happened today in Jenin camp will not be delayed," warned top Hamas official Saleh Arouri.

Tensions between Israelis and Palestinians have soared since Israel launched the raids last spring, following a spate of Palestinian attacks that killed 19 people, while another round of attacks later in the year brought the death toll to 30.

Nearly 150 Palestinians were killed last year, making 2022 the deadliest since 2004, according to the Israeli rights group B'Tselem.

Israel says most of the dead were militants. But youths protesting the incursions and others not involved in the confrontations have also been killed. So far this year, and not including Thursday, one-third of the Palestinians killed by Israeli troops or civilians had ties to armed groups.

Israel says the raids are meant to dismantle militant networks and thwart future attacks. The Palestinians say they further entrench Israel's 55-year, open-ended occupation.

Israel captured the West Bank, east Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip in the 1967 Mideast war, territories the Palestinians claim for their hoped-for state.

Israel's new far-right government, headed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and propped up by ultranationalist and ultra-Orthodox parties, has pledged to put West Bank settlement expansion at the top of its priority list and has already announced a series of punitive steps against the Palestinians for pushing the U.N.'s highest judicial body to give its opinion on the Israeli occupation.

JENIN REFUGEE CAMP, West Bank (AP) - Israeli forces killed at least nine Palestinians, including a 60-year-old woman, and wounded several others during a raid in a flashpoint area of the occupied West Bank on Thursday, Palestinian health officials said, in the deadliest day in years in the territory.
