The Palestinian Authority said this Friday that at least ten Palestinians were killed in Israeli operations this morning in the West Bank and Gaza, the latter described by Israel as a response to attacks by the Palestinian Hamas movement.
It is the deadliest episode in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict since August 2022, when an outbreak of violence between the Israeli army and Islamic Jihad in Gaza killed at least 49 Palestinians, including militants, as well as civilians in three days.
This Friday, the Israeli army announced that it was carrying out attacks in the Gaza Strip in response to rocket attacks on the Palestinian enclave. At this stage, no casualties have been reported.
