After The Israeli Troops Left

Israel's biggest military operation in Jenin in the West Bank in 20 years ended on Wednesday, July 5, 2023, leaving 12 Palestinians and an Israeli soldier dead.

'A CNN team on the ground in Jenin on Wednesday saw roads completely torn up, and massive amounts of damage to buildings, homes and cars. Crews were working to restore electricity that had been severely disrupted during the operation. Images on Wednesday showed residents preparing one grave for all 12 Palestinians killed,' CNN reported.

Reuters photographers capture the aftermath of the two-day military operation, which involved the deployment of over 1,000 Israeli troops, drone attacks and bulldozers.
