The Israeli military has escalated its assault on the occupied West Bank, calling in reinforcements for a second day. At least 18 Palestinians have been killed across Jenin, Tulkarem, and Tubas, with dozens more injured, according to Palestinian reports. Israeli forces have also imprisoned at least 20 Palestinians, including children, with the number expected to rise. In Tulkarem’s Nur Shams refugee camp, the military claimed to have killed five Palestinian fighters hiding in a mosque, including Mohamed Jaber, the commander of the Tulkarem Battalion, who was linked to the killing of an Israeli man in June.
