Palestinian freedom of movement has been even more severely restricted since the Gaza ceasefire took effect as Israel erects new checkpoints.

Dozens of Palestinian women and teenagers were released from Israeli prisons this week as part of a deal between Israel and Hamas to pause the war in Gaza.

The names of the four female Israeli soldiers who will be exchanged on Saturday for Palestinian prisoners have been released by Hamas. This is the second of such exchanges that are to run the course of the first two phases of a three-stage ceasefire agreed this month.

Dozens of people were killed or wounded after an outbreak of violence in the West Bank that Israeli military officials called a counterterrorism operation.

RAMALLAH, January, 23, 2024 (WAFA) – For the fifth consecutive day, the Israeli occupation forces continue to impose arbitrary measures at their military checkpoints near most of the entrances and exits of the governorates in the West Bank.

Israel’s military is using lessons from the Gaza war in its new West Bank operation to ensure “terrorism does not return,” according to Defense Minister Israel Katz.

By James Mackenzie and Ali Sawafta JERUSALEM/RAMALLAH (Reuters) -Israeli security forces backed by helicopters raided the volatile West Bank city of Jenin on Tuesday, killing at least eight Palestinians in what Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called a "large-scale and significant military operation".

The action came a day after President Donald Trump said he will lift sanctions on ultranationalist Israeli settlers who attacked Palestinian villages.

The Israeli military said on Tuesday it had launched an operation in the occupied West Bank's Jenin that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said aimed to "eradicate terrorism" in the area.

Israel’s defense minister has announced a series of raids that he says are targeting “terrorism” in the occupied West Bank, as Palestinian officials warned of a “man-made disaster.”
