Israel deploys hundreds of soldiers and its air force in attack that its media described as the biggest since 2002.
At least nine people have been killed after Israel launched a large-scale ground and air attack on the northern part of the occupied West Bank, according to Palestinian health officials and media.
The incursion, which began early on Wednesday, involved hundreds of ground soldiers supported by fighter aircraft, drones and bulldozers, targeting three areas simultaneously – Jenin, Tulkarem and the Jordan Valley.
The director of the ambulance department at the Palestine Red Crescent Society told Al Jazeera that Israeli forces killed four people in the Far’a refugee camp in Tubas.
Several others were injured, but the Red Crescent said their teams were having trouble reaching them because Israeli forces were preventing ambulances from entering the area.
