An Israeli soldier, Elkana Navon, 20, was killed during ongoing military operations in the West Bank on Saturday, with another soldier severely injured. Israeli forces have been conducting simultaneous raids in several cities, including Jenin, since Wednesday. At least 22 Palestinians, most of them operatives from groups like Hamas and Islamic Jihad, have been killed in these operations. Violence in the West Bank has surged since Hamas's October 7 attack on Israel, with 637 Palestinians killed in the territory since the Gaza war began. The Israeli army vows to continue efforts to eliminate terrorism in the region.
