Six people have been killed during an Israeli air strike in Jenin in the occupied West Bank, the Palestinian Health Ministry said.
“An Israeli occupation bombardment on a group of citizens killed six people in Jenin,” said the Palestinian Authority-run Ministry of Health, which is based in the occupied West Bank.
Palestinian media reported early on Sunday that a major deployment of Israeli forces was underway in Jenin.
Israel has said it “dismantled” Hamas’s military leadership in northern Gaza as its war against the Palestinian group entered its fourth month.
Witnesses said Israel carried out air strikes early on Sunday in Gaza’s main southern city of Khan Younis.
Israel’s army said its forces would now “focus” on central and southern areas of Gaza.
Protesters calling for a ceasefire in Israel’s war on Gaza blocked northbound traffic on Interstate 5 in Seattle for several hours.
Additional demonstrators on a nearby overpass cheered in support of the blockade, which began around 1:15 pm.
Demonstrators chanted “Free, free Palestine” and “Hey hey, ho ho, the occupation has got to go.”
