Jenin Palestiniian mourns death of his brotherThe Israeli military bombed and stormed Jenin on Tuesday as it launched a major assault on the northern occupied West Bank city, days after a ceasefire in Gaza took hold.

The attacks killed at least seven Palestinians and wounded 35 others, according to the Palestinian health ministry.

The bombing accompanied a large-scale ground assault by Israeli forces, which is expected to last several days, a military source told the Times of Israel.

Palestinian Authority (PA) security forces - who have been besieging and attacking Jenin since early December - withdrew from the city as the Israeli offensive was starting.

Reporters on the ground told Middle East Eye that Israeli forces are besieging both al-Amal Hospital and Jenin Governmental Hospital.

TVNL Comment: Not a word from the western world.  US newspapers are not even publishing the attacks.  This is to cleanse the WB of Palestinians because of Israel's biblical right to the entire region.
