Families have begun leaving Jenin refugee camp as Israel's military operation intensifies in the West Bank. Israeli forces have sealed off the camp for four days, conducting house-to-house searches for armed Palestinian fighters. Fierce fighting has led to at least 20 deaths, including an 82-year-old man. The Israeli army claims its operation is targeting Iran-backed militants, aiming to prevent future attacks on Israeli cities. Palestinian civilians, including women and children, are being evacuated amid the ongoing violence. The UN has raised concerns about the impact on civilians, especially children.
