Wafa, the Palestinian news agency, reported that Israeli forces tightened security for the third consecutive day at most entrances and exits of the governorates in the West Bank. Videos shared by Palestinians and verified by Al Jazeera showed dozens of vehicles stuck in traffic at the Atara checkpoint near Ramallah due to heightened security.

Israeli forces are pressing on with a campaign across the West Bank city of Jenin described as a counterterrorism operation. Palestinian witnesses said several houses have been raided and 10 people killed.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the assault on Jenin would be “extensive and significant,” as the military erected new checkpoints across the West Bank.
