Israeli Airstrikes Kill West Bank Palestinians Amid Unchecked Assault on Gaza
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the occupied West Bank, Israeli warplanes bombed a mosque in the
Jenin refugee camp Sunday, killing at least two people. Camp residents
said the airstrike came in the dead of night without warning.

Ali Aldamag: "Most people were asleep, and some were awake, when we saw
a light and heard a loud explosion. We rushed to the scene, where we saw
killed and injured people, and we moved them to the hospital, thank God.
This is what happened."

Separately, Israeli forces killed five more Palestinians in raids across
the occupied West Bank overnight, arresting dozens of people. Similar
raids this month have killed at least 95 Palestinians while doubling the
number held in Israeli jails to more than 10,000 people.

Meanwhile, Israel continued to strike Hezbollah targets inside Lebanon.
Netanyahu has warned that any efforts by Hezbollah to join the war would
be "devastating" for Lebanon.
