JERUSALEM (AP) — Israeli drones have struck targets in a stronghold of militants in the occupied West Bank and hundreds of troops are deployed in the area. Monday’s incursion resembled the wide-scale military operations carried out during the second Palestinian uprising two decades ago. Palestinian health officials said at least five Palestinians were killed and 27 injured. It came at a time of growing domestic pressure for a tough response to a series of attacks on Israeli settlers including one last week that killed four people. Jenin, the area of the raid, has been a flashpoint as Israeli-Palestinian violence escalated since the spring of 2022.
