In a tragic incident, nine Palestinians were killed in an Israeli raid on the West Bank’s Jenin on January 26, 2023. According to reports, three of the victims were elderly women.

The Israeli army said that the raid was launched to take out a group of militants who had been carrying out attacks in the region. However, local sources claim that the raid was unprovoked and the victims were innocent civilians.

The incident has been described as the deadliest clash in Jenin in years. It has sparked outrage among Palestinians and international human rights groups, who have called on the Israeli government to launch an investigation into the incident.

The Palestinian Authority has also called on the United Nations to intervene and put an end to the violence in the region. The UN has yet to comment on the incident.

Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has defended the raid, saying that the military was acting in self-defense. He has also accused Palestinian militants of using civilians as human shields.

The incident has sparked tensions between Israel and the Palestinians, and it remains to be seen how the situation will develop in the coming days.
