On Monday, the Israeli army launched at least ten air-raids on the Jenin refugee camp in the northern occupied West Bank, backed by troops, drones and helicopters.

Reports suggest that at least seven Palestinians were killed and two dozen others were injured in air raids, conducted by unmanned drones.

As of Monday, around 150 armoured vehicles and about 1,000 soldiers continued to enforce a siege on the camp, a known flashpoint for Israeli-Palestinian violence.

The Israeli army said the operation was to destroy and confiscate weapons.

WAFA, the Palestinian news agency, reported that Israeli troop’s cut-off roads within the camp, occupied houses and placed snipers on rooftops.

Nabil Abu Rudeineh, a spokesman for the Palestinian president, said: ‘Our Palestinian people will not kneel, will not surrender, will not raise the white flag, and will remain steadfast on their land in the face of this brutal aggression’.

Elsewhere, a 21-year-old Palestinian was killed by Israeli fire near Ramallah in the West Bank.
