"The IDF destroyed a short time ago a number of buildings in Jenin used as terrorist infrastructure," Israel's military said in a statement.

The Israeli military said on Sunday it had killed at least 50 militants during more than two weeks of operations in the occupied West Bank, earlier levelling buildings in the territory’s Jenin refugee camp.

The sudden expansion of Israeli security operations in the West Bank has killed at least 10 people and follows the start of the delicate ceasefire process in Gaza, by which Israeli hostages are released in stages and will also see the gradual withdrawal of Israeli forces.

The Israeli military says it has killed at least 50 militants during more than two weeks of operations in the occupied West Bank, with “terrorist infrastructure” blown up in the Jenin refugee camp.

Thick clouds were seen rising from the Palestinian city where Israeli forces have been conducting a massive operation for nearly two weeks that the Israeli military says is targeted at local militants,

The army carried out simultaneous explosions on homes and buildings in Jenin's refugee camp which it said were 'terror infrastructure.'View on euronews
