An international outcry followed the Israeli invasion, which resulted in an unprecedented number of Palestinian casualties, the worst since 2005, according to United Nations officials.
During the invasion, Israel occupied residential homes and fired at a hospital and journalists. It also barred medics from reaching the wounded inside Jenin.
