STORYLINE:

At least four Palestinians were killed in an Israeli drone attack on the West Bank city of Jenin, a medical source said on Tuesday.

Israeli forces raided the city of Jenin and its refugee camp on Tuesday, carrying out a military operation that lasted for several hours, and used drones to bomb a group of young men inside the old town of the city, said Palestinian security sources.

Israel is seeking to turn the Gaza Strip into "an unlivable place," with the intention of forcibly displacing Gazan residents from the territory, Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammed Ishtaye said on Tuesday.

"The Israeli army pushed Gazans from the north to the south by force, and now the bombing is targeting southern Gaza including Khan Younis and Deir al-Balah, and they are all being pushed towards Rafah, the far south of the Strip," said Ishtaye.  

The Palestinian death toll in Gaza has exceeded 18,400 since the eruption of the Hamas-Israel conflict on Oct. 7, after Hamas's surprise attack on southern Israel, which killed about 1,200 people, figures released by the two warring sides show.
