French president tells Netanyahu of ‘deepest concern’ over civilians as Israeli forces pound central Gaza by land, sea and air
One Palestinian has been killed and at least 15 injured in raids by the Israeli military targeting money exchange shops in cities in the West Bank, Al Jazeera is reporting.
The broadcaster’s correspondent, Imran Khan, who is in Ramallah, said 10 raids had taken place in cities including Ramallah, al-Bireh, Hebron, Halhul, Nablus, Jenin, Tulkarem and Jericho.
The raid here in Ramallah was unparalleled. I counted at least 20 vehicles entering the city around 1am (23:00 GMT Wednesday). Then there were fierce clashes that broke out in Al-Manara Square, which is in the centre of the city.
There was a controlled explosion around 3am (01:00 GMT). Israeli forces went into a money exchange shop and arrested the owner of the shop.
