West Bank, Israeli forces kill 5 militants, among them a commander

The Israeli military said on Thursday it had killed five more Palestinian militants in the occupied West Bank, including a local commander, as it carried out a second day of counter-terrorism operations.

Israel said the raids in the northern West Bank - during which a total of 16 people, almost all militants, have been killed since Tuesday - are aimed at preventing attacks.

Palestinians said they see them as an extension of the more than 10-month-old war between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip and aimed at perpetuating Israel's decades-long military rule over the West Bank.

Meanwhile, Israel said it had agreed to at least a three-day "humanitarian pause" in fighting in Gaza, starting Sunday, to allow United Nations health officials to carry out polio vaccinations in the territory, the World Health Organization said. Health.

Hamas welcomed the humanitarian pause on the polio vaccine program, Hamas official Basem Naim told Reuters on Thursday.

Also on Thursday, the deputy US envoy to the United Nations said Israel had told US officials that a "miscommunication" between Israeli military units led to the armed attack on a World Food Program vehicle in Gas.

The World Food Program temporarily suspended the movement of its staff in the region on Wednesday after at least 10 bullets hit one of its clearly marked vehicles bearing the organization's name as it approached an Israeli military checkpoint. There were no injuries from the incident./VOA
