On January 26, Israeli forces raided the Jenin refugee camp in the West Bank, reportedly in order to thwart an imminent terror attack against Israelis by the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) terrorist group. Nine Palestinians, including PIJ members and at least one civilian, were killed and others wounded.
