Israeli forces with heavy machinery roam the streets of Jenin on the second day of an Israeli wide raid on various towns across the West Bank.
Hundreds of Israeli troops, backed by helicopters, drones and armored personnel carriers, raided the flashpoint cities of Jenin and Tulkarm and other areas in the occupied West Bank on Wednesday, killing at least a dozen Palestinians.
The assault, one of the largest seen in the West Bank for months, followed a series of smaller raids in the area over recent weeks as Israeli forces sought to crush groups of fighters from Palestinian groups.
Israeli army vehicles were seen blocking the roads of Jenin. Ambulances were seen attempting to maneuvre through the military vehicles, only to be stopped in their tracks.
Palestinian health authorities said at least 12 Palestinians had been killed in different areas of the West Bank by Israeli forces in the Wednesday operation.
