Nine Palestinians were killed, according to the IDF—three armed terrorists who posed a threat to security forces in Jenin in an aerial strike, two armed terrorists in clashes with Judea and Samaria Border Guard forces and another four in a drone strike in the Far’a camp in Tubas.

The Palestinian Health Ministry said that at least 11 Palestinians had been killed.

Israeli forces have also arrested several Palestinians during the operation, which is expected to last for several days. Weapons, ammunition and military equipment were also confiscated.
