00:00 Another Israeli airstrike in the West Bank.
00:02 The Al-Ansar mosque in the city of Jenin was reduced to rubble on Sunday, killing two - at
00:07 least the second airstrike in the occupied territory in recent days.
00:11 The IDF claims the compound beneath the mosque was being used by Hamas and Islamic Jihad
00:16 terror operatives to organize attacks.
00:19 "We were peacefully having dinner, with some young men staying in the mosque to pray and
00:25 read the Koran.
00:27 Just a group of worshippers.
00:29 Others were leaving to go on about their daily lives and get some rest when suddenly, without
00:33 any prior warning, the military aircraft launched the missiles."
00:38 Israel's war with Hamas has stoked fear and fresh violence in the West Bank, with Israeli
00:43 forces stepping up action on the ground as well.
00:46 An overnight military raid in the Jalazon refugee camp north of Ramallah killed two
00:51 people and led to dozens arrested.
00:54 Many of some 10,000 Gazans working in Israel before the war have fled here, unable to return
00:59 to their homes in the Gaza Strip, some fleeing for fear of reprisals, while others were expelled
01:04 by Israeli authorities.
01:06 "We are human and we want to live in dignity and to be able to feed our children, to work,
01:14 eat and drink.
01:15 And we don't want these wars.
01:17 What we're living is not a life."
01:20 Around three million Palestinians live across the West Bank, which has been occupied by
01:24 Israel since the 1967 Arab-Israeli conflict.
