Eight of those who were killed were members of Palestinian Islamic Jihad, the militant group said in a statement. Israel said it was targeting Palestinian terrorists and one of its soldiers was killed in the operation. Those who died were aged 16 to 23, and scores more injured, Palestinian officials said. We have finished the operation – its goals have been achieved,” IDF Chief Spokesperson Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari told Israeli military radio station Galei Tzahal. The two-day incursion into the sprawling refugee camp, which caused extensive damage to roads, homes and cars, ended earlier Wednesday, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) said, as the United Nations expressed deep concern over the violence. Thousands of Palestinians marched through the streets of Jenin on Wednesday for the funeral of the 12 people killed in Israel’s largest military operation in the occupied West Bank in more than 20 years.
