A man ran over and injured eight people in Tel Aviv on Tuesday after the Israeli army carried out a large-scale operation that killed 10 Palestinians in Jenin, in the northern West Bank.
Israeli police said they had received reports of a “vehicle that attacked several civilians” in northern Tel Aviv, adding that security forces had killed an assailant with whom they engaged in a shootout.
Health authorities reported the delivery of five wounded to hospitals.
In Jenin, shops remain closed on Tuesday and drones flew over the city on the second day of the operation, which mobilized hundreds of soldiers – the largest Israeli military exercise in the West Bank in several years.
The Israeli army announced that it had destroyed an underground mine used to store explosives in Jenin, and soldiers discovered and dismantled two operating rooms that Israel believes belong to terrorist organizations.
In the north of the occupied West Bank, there has been a spate of attacks against Israelis, as well as anti-Palestinian violence by Jewish settlers.
According to the Palestinian Ministry of Health, 10 Palestinians were killed and 100 injured, 20 of them seriously.
Recent clashes prompted an exodus of about 3,000 residents from the Jenin camp, home to about 18,000 Palestinians, on Monday.
In June, seven people were killed in an Israeli attack on the Jenin camp, and shortly thereafter, four Israelis were shot dead by two Palestinians near the Jewish settlement of Eli in the northern West Bank.
