On March 7, six Palestinians were killed and dozens more were injured during an Israeli military raid in the Jenin refugee camp in the occupied West Bank.

The raid was carried out with the intention of capturing a suspect named Abdelfattah Kharousheh, who is believed to have been responsible for a drive-by shooting attack in the town of Huwara.

Following the raid, Palestinians in Jenin and other areas of the West Bank have gone on strike, with many businesses closing and public transport coming to a halt. This action is a form of protest against the Israeli military operation and the ongoing occupation of Palestinian territories.
