In the days since a fragile ceasefire took hold in the Gaza Strip, Israel has launched a major military operation in the occupied West Bank and suspected Jewish settlers have rampaged through two Palestinian towns.

As many as 600 people were held in a hospital overnight, the mayor of the city of Jenin told a Palestinian news agency. The death toll from the two-day operation rose to 10, officials said.

The action came a day after President Donald Trump said he will lift sanctions on ultranationalist Israeli settlers who attacked Palestinian villages.
