The city of Jenin, a Palestinian militant stronghold in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, has become a new front for Israel days after it reached a ceasefire deal with Hamas that suspended a 15-month-old war in Gaza.

In the days since a fragile ceasefire took hold in the Gaza Strip, Israel has launched a major military operation in the occupied West Bank and suspected Jewish settlers have rampaged through two Palestinian towns.

At least 10 people have been killed in the raids, and more than 40 wounded, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry. Dozens have been arrested, Palestinian officials told the Wafa news agency.

An Israeli drone strike on a vehicle near the West Bank town of Qabatiya killed two people, the Palestinian health ministry said on Friday, the fourth day of a large-scale Israeli operation in the nearby city of Jenin launched after the truce in Gaza.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the assault on Jenin would be “extensive and significant,” as the military erected new checkpoints across the West Bank.

An Israeli airstrike killed two Hamas militants in Tulkarm, escalating tensions in the West Bank amid a Gaza ceasefire. The Israeli military targeted a local Hamas leader, while ongoing operations in Jenin involve hundreds of troops.

The Israeli army conducted large-scale operations in the occupied West Bank city of Jenin for the third consecutive day, killing at least 12 people, said the official Palestinian news agency WAFA on Thursday.
