Nine Palestinians have been killed and 35 injured by Israeli forces during a major operation in Jenin in the occupied West Bank, the Palestinian health ministry says.

Ten killed, more than 35 wounded says Palestinian Ministry of Health, as violence rises in occupied West Bank.

The Palestinian health ministry, based in Ramallah, said the operation had killed eight people, just days after a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas took effect in the Gaza Strip. The Palestinian Red Crescent said its first responders treated seven people injured by live ammunition and that Israeli forces were hindering their access to the area.
