Nine Palestinians have been killed during an Israeli military raid in the occupied West Bank - the deadliest in years - Palestinian officials say. A woman aged 61 was reported among the dead in the flashpoint town of Jenin. The Israeli military said its troops went in to arrest Islamic Jihad "terror operatives" planning "major attacks". The Palestinian presidency accused Israel of a "massacre" and later announced it had ended co-ordination with Israel on security matters. A Palestinian doctor who works at a clinic in a village near Jenin who witnessed the raid told Newsday what he saw. “There was an Israeli sniper. We could see the bullets hitting the ground. Once we got to the hospital we could not go further... there was an Israeli [military] tractor there. And from inside the hospital you could hear the screaming [from teargas].” (Pic: Palestinians throw stones amid clashes with Israeli troops during a raid in Jenin. Credit: EFE)
