POV Footage released by the Israeli Ministry of Defense shows the perspective of a Yamam counter-terrorist unit that conducted a raid in Jenin, Israel today.

A raid on a Palestinian refugee encampment in Jenin, Israel today left 9 Palestinians dead, including two civilians. The IDF has stated that the purpose of the raid was to arrest several militants who were planning what the IDF has labelled as major attacks in Israel. Seven of the dead Palestinians were confirmed to be armed gunmen that were actively engaging Israeli forces.

Of the dead civilians, one was listed as a 61-year-old woman, but the IDF has yet to comment on the circumstances of the woman's death, or that of the other civilian who was killed. 20 other civilians were allegedly wounded in the raid, including one child who is being treated at a nearby medical facility for gunshot wounds.

The UN Security council is scheduled to hold an emergency meeting about the raid tomorrow. The urgent closed-door session is being called by UAE, China and France.

This is a developing story.
