Israeli forces conducted a military raid in Qabatia, a town in the southern Jenin area of the occupied West Bank, resulting in the deaths of multiple Palestinians. Reports indicate that between six and seven Palestinians were killed, and up to 18 others were injured during the operation. The raid involved heavy gunfire exchanges, and an Israeli bulldozer demolished a home where some of the Palestinians were killed. Additionally, Israeli soldiers were filmed pushing the bodies of Palestinian gunmen off a rooftop, an incident that the IDF is currently investigating. Nearly 1,000 students are stranded in two schools and a kindergarten nearby, according to the Palestinian education ministry. The Palestinian official news agency WAFA and the governor of Jenin have confirmed the casualties.
