Palestinians flee Israel's ongoing raid on West Bank refugee camp as several hurt in Tel Aviv car attack

Thousands of Palestinian residents fled the Jenin refugee camp in the Israeli-occupied West Bank on Tuesday as Palestinian health officials said the death toll from Israel's largest raid on the camp in nearly two decades had risen to 10. Meanwhile, at least eight people were injured in a car ramming attack on a crowded bus stop in the city of Tel Aviv, which the militant group Hamas claimed was a response to the ongoing Jenin raid.

As Israel's operation inside the Jenin camp, which sits inside the West Bank city of the same name, continued for a second day, the Israeli army said it was seizing weapons and destroying command posts and tunnels belonging to Palestinian militant groups. Streets were torn up inside the camp, and gunfire and explosions were heard sporadically throughout the day as Israeli troops and Palestinian militants clashed, though the fighting was reportedly less intense than on Monday.

Jenin Mayor Nidal Al-Obeidi said around 4,000 people had fled the refugee camp to seek shelter elsewhere, and Palestinians across the West Bank observed a general strike to protest the raid, according to The Associated Press.
