Israel raids West Bank, 2 Palestinians killed in gun battle
13 Sept 19:08Key points summarised by AI
Israeli forces conducted a raid in the Jenin refugee camp in the West Bank, resulting in a gun battle where two Palestinians were killed and 15 wounded.
In a separate incident, a Palestinian stabbed an Israeli man on a bus in the West Bank before being killed by a bystander.
These events follow a recent surge in violence, including multiple attacks in central Israel that killed 11 people, escalating regional tensions.
The new wave of violence complicates efforts to maintain calm ahead of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, despite recent diplomatic meetings and goodwill gestures.
Macron condemns those who 'sought to bring down the Republic' after rioting mars nationwide protests
Yesterday 12:56Key points summarised by AI
President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
