Huge explosions destroy buildings in West Bank A series of huge explosions have rocked the city of Jenin in the occupied West Bank, as Israel continues military operations it says are targeting "terrorist infrastructure".
The simultaneous explosions levelled around 20 buildings in the Jenin refugee camp, the Palestinian state news agency said, with Jenin hospital director Wisam Baker telling the same agency part of the hospital was damaged in the explosions but there had been no casualties there.
Defence minister Israel Katz said on Wednesday Israel would remain in Jenin until its military operation was complete, without saying when that would be.
On 21 January, two days after the ceasefire in Gaza came into effect, Israel began raiding Jenin in the northern West Bank.
Hundreds of Israeli soldiers, backed by the air force, have since engaged in battles with Palestinian militants in Jenin as they search for weapons and equipment, Israel says.
