JENIN - DECEMBER 14: People walk through the damaged streets of Jenin after a muilti-day raid in the city by members of the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) that left over 10 residents dead and wounded on December 14, 2023 in Jenin, Palestine. The West Bank city, a center of resistance to Israel, has been raided frequently in recent years resulting in many deaths of both civilians and fighters. Israel's war against Hamas that was sparked by the Oct. 7 attacks has also made life more volatile in East Jerusalem and the West Bank. Israeli forces here have stepped up raids on alleged militants, police have clashed with protesters, and there has been a rise in violent attacks on Palestinians by Israeli settlers. Last month, Hamas also claimed responsibility for a deadly shooting in Jerusalem by two brothers from the eastern part of the city. (Photo by Spencer Platt/Getty Images)
