10 Killed as Israel Launches Attack on Jenin

Since mid-December, 2024, Israel’s military operations in the Jenin refugee camp have displaced 2,000 families, rendering the area “nearly uninhabitable,” according to Roland Friedrich, director of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA).

Meanwhile Israeli forces have encircled the Al Razi hospital in the Jenin refugee camp in the West Bank. Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz calls it a “security strategy shift,” while the Red Crescent reports ambulances blocked from reaching the injured.

The Israeli army launched, Tuesday, a large-scale attack on Jenin and its refugee camp after the Palestinian Authority security forces withdrew from the area.

Israeli occupation forces, accompanied by bulldozers, drones, and warplanes, stormed the city of Jenin and its refugee camp, launching an unprecedented military onslaught. The initial death toll since the onset of the aggression has reached 10, with nearly 40 others injured.

    The convoy of the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was involved in a car accident, Tuesday evening, outside his office in west Jerusalem.

    The accident is trending on the social media with much images including breaking news of the accident.

    According to the Jerusalem Post a vehicle in the convoy hit a 17-year-old motorcyclist as it was leaving a ceremony in remembrance of Israeli soldiers killed in the war on Gaza.

    The English Israeli daily said it was not clear whether Netanyahu was in one of the vehicles at the time, however Kan, the Israeli official broadcaster, confirmed Netanyahu was in the convoy but he emerged unharmed.

    KAN also confirmed that Netanyahu convoy collided with the motorcycle.

    This is not the first time Israeli government officials have been involved in accidents. In April 2024, the Israeli media reported that the car of Israeli Education Minister Haim Biton was involved in a traffic accident in Jerusalem, seriously injuring his father.

    National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir was also involved in a traffic accident in April 2024, resulting in his hospitalization and treatment according to Jordan24.

    The Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth reported that a vehicle belonging to the personal security unit of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s convoy was involved in a traffic accident near Cinema City in Jerusalem.

    The Israeli Broadcasting Corporation (Kan) reported that “the prime minister’s convoy was involved in a traffic accident and stopped moving.”

    Kan confirmed that Benjamin Netanyahu was unharmed in the accident, which occurred near his office in Jerusalem.

    The Israeli Broadcasting Corporation indicated that “the prime minister’s convoy collided with a motorcycle. Netanyahu was in the convoy, but he moved away from the vehicle involved in the accident.”

    It is worth noting that this accident is not the first involving an official Israeli government official. In April 2024, Israeli media reported that the car of Israeli Education Minister Haim Biton was involved in a traffic accident in Jerusalem, seriously injuring his father.

    National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir was also involved in a traffic accident in April 2024, resulting in his hospitalization and treatment.
