At least eight Palestinians have been killed in raids by Israeli forces on the Palestinian city of Jenin, one of the largest incursions into the occupied West Bank in 20 years.
More than 50 people were injured in the attack that included airstrikes, with the death toll likely to rise, according to the Palestinian health ministry.

Israel says its forces found explosives during a search of a mosque. In a statement, the Israeli Defense
