Israel Intensifies Gaza Bombing, Targets West Bank Militants With Airstrike

Updated Oct. 22, 2023 8:48 am ETListen to article(2 minutes)Israel intensified its bombing of targets on three fronts, including a rare airstrike in the West Bank, as Palestinian casualties mounted and the humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip deepened. The Israeli military struck a mosque compound in the West Bank’s city of Jenin that it said was being used by militants to plan attacks. It was one of few airstrikes since 2006 in the West Bank, where the Israeli military has recently tended to rely on ground troops to conduct raids, which have escalated in the past few years. Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.
