The United Nations has called for immediate de-escalation as Israeli forces continue their raids in the West Bank for the second consecutive day. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) reported 12 deaths in Jenin and Tulkarm, with the Palestinian health ministry confirming 16 fatalities. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres urged Israel to halt its operation, citing the worsening situation. The IDF claimed to target militants linked to recent attacks, including Mohammed Jaber, a leader of the Tulkarm Brigade. The ongoing violence has raised concerns of expanding conflict and potential EU sanctions against Israeli officials.
