Israel launches deadly "large scale" offensive in occupied West Bank
Read Original Source
An Israeli military operation in a built-up refugee camp in the occupied West Bank killed at least seven people Tuesday, according to Palestinian health officials, as the Israel Defense Forces announced a new "large scale" offensive in the area on the third day of a ceasefire in the smaller Gaza Strip. The Palestinian Health Ministry in the West Bank, which unlike Gaza has long been militarily occupied by Israel and is not controlled by Hamas, reported the deaths from the new IDF operation.
