YEREVAN, JULY 3, ARMENPRESS. The Israeli military (IDF) on Sunday night launched a major operation in Jenin with a series of airstrikes and moving brigade-level forces into the northern West Bank Palestinian city, Jerusalem Post reports.

Jerusalem Post quoted IDF Chief Spokesman Brig, Gen. Daniel Hagari as saying early Monday that as of now the operation is focused on Jenin, but it could expand to other parts of the northern West Bank.

The IDF said at least “seven suspected Palestinian terrorists” were killed in the attack which it said was targeting “terrorist infrastructures”.

Meanwhile, Palestinian authorities slammed the attack as “another war crime” which they said targeted the Jenin refugee camp. Palestinian health authorities said early Monday morning that at least 4 people died and 27 others were injured in the attack.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
