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.

At least 10 Palestinians have been killed dozens injured in an Israeli raid in the occupied West Bank, with neighbouring Jordan’s foreign minister warning that the offensive could lead the West Bank to “explode”.

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.
