STORYLINE:
The Israeli military said on Thursday it had completed a two-day operation in the occupied West Bank that the Palestinian Health Ministry says killed 12 Palestinians and wounded 25 others.
The military launched the operation on Tuesday in the city of Jenin and adjacent urban refugee camp as part of a crackdown against militants in the area.
The Palestinian Islamic Jihad militant group said its fighters battled the Israeli forces.
"Buildings, streets, infrastructure – all of this was destroyed in the Jenin camp," said Abdul Jabbar Shalabi, the Chairman of the Administrative Board of the Jenin Camp youth center.
Militant groups claimed at least eight of the dead as fighters: one from Hamas and seven from the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade, an armed offshoot of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas’ Fatah party.
The Islamic Jihad group said an unspecified number of its fighters were killed.
The military did not immediately disclose additional details about the operation.
Jenin and the adjacent urban refugee camp have long been a bastion of armed struggle against Israel’s occupation, and the frequency of raids by Israeli troops has increased during the war in Gaza.
Violence has surged in the West Bank since the start of the war in Gaza.
The Palestinian Health Ministry says more than 500 Palestinians have been killed in the West Bank since Oct. 7.
Many were shot dead in armed clashes during military raids, others for throwing stones or explosives at troops.
People not involved in the confrontations have also been killed.
