The Israeli military bombed and stormed Jenin on Tuesday as it launched a major assault on the northern occupied West Bank city, days after a ceasefire in Gaza took hold. The attacks killed at least seven Palestinians and wounded 35 others, according to the Palestinian health ministry.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu backed the operation saying that it is intended to “eradicate terrorism” in the area

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the assault on Jenin would be “extensive and significant,” as the military erected new checkpoints across the West Bank.

Four people have been wounded in a stabbing attack in Tel Aviv in which the attacker was killed, Israeli emergency service Magen David Adom said on Wednesday.

The action came a day after President Donald Trump said he will lift sanctions on ultranationalist Israeli settlers who attacked Palestinian villages.
