The Palestinian health ministry confirmed at least seven people had been killed and 27 wounded in Jenin, while another man was killed in the city of Ramallah after being shot in the head at a checkpoint.

A spokesman for Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas called the operation "a new war crime against our defenceless people".

A spokesman said it would last as long as needed and officials suggested forces could remain for days. "An operation doesn't end in one day," Energy Minister Israel Katz, a member of the security cabinet, told Army radio.
Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant said his forces were "closely monitoring the conduct of our enemies...The defence establishment is ready for all scenarios."
