At least nine Palestinians have been killed in the occupied West Bank, in what Israel says is a “counter-terrorism operation”
Earlier, Palestinian officials said at least 11 people had been killed since the Israeli operation began at midnight local time.
This appears to be a major Israeli operation, with at least four Palestinian cities being targeted at the same time – Jenin, Tulkarm, Nablus and Tubas.
It is believed to be the first time since the second intifada – a major Palestinian uprising from 2000 to 2005 – that several Palestinian cities have been targeted simultaneously.
Meanwhile in Gaza, the Hamas-run health ministry says 58 people have been killed in Israeli attacks over the past day.
