UPDATE: According to a Palestinian Ministry of Health statement on Thursday, the number of Palestinians killed by the Israeli army in the occupied West Bank has risen to 18.
The ministry indicated that 14 Palestinians were killed in a raid by Israeli occupation forces on the city and refugee camp of Jenin; one killed in Beit Fajjar south of Bethlehem; one in Dura, south of Hebron, one in the Amari camp near Ramallah, and one in the Balata refugee camp, east of Nablus.
This takes the number of Palestinians killed in the West Bank since October 7 to 181 and the number of wounded to over 2,300.
Fourteen people were killed and at least 20 were injured as Israeli occupation forces stormed the occupied West Bank city of Jenin and its refugee camp on Thursday morning.
A WAFA correspondent said that a large unit of the Israeli army, accompanied by a military bulldozer, stormed the camp from several directions on Thursday morning, a few hours after another military raid at night.
