In the biggest israeli military it was a message of force, delivered quietly at first. Israeli soldiers seeking their targets, Street By Palestinian street. By morning, hundreds of troops backed by Armoured Bulldozers had arrived in the Refugee Camps of tulkarem, nablus, tubas, jenin. Home to armed palestinian groups and unarmed civilians. At least ten palestinians have been killed. Hamas says six of them were its fighters. Masoud najjar said he was injured when he opened the door of his house to young men asking for water. Translation we felt like something came down on us from the sky and there was an explosion. I was unaware of what was going on. When i put my hand on my chest, it was all shrapnel and blood. Injenin, Army Vehicles surrounded the citys two main hospitals. Ambulances stopped and checked by militaryjeeps. Israels Foreign Minister has urged his government to use gaza as a model for dealing with armed groups, here saying that iran was backing them and that this was a war for everything that israel must win. The idf and our Security Forces are operating in tulkarem, jenin and other places from which murderous attacks have been launched. We will fight to eliminate terrorism wherever it emerges. Almost 600 palestinians have been killed in the West Bank by israeli forces since the hamas attacks. But fighters here are still presenting israel with new tactics and new threats. Israels army has been targeting the same areas in the same cities, week after week for the past ten months, determined to dismantle the armed palestinian groups based here. Now its launched a wider, more coordinated operation across the West Bank on a scale not seen for 20 years. In al far� a camp, near tubas, mobile Phone Footage showed red Crescent Staff lined up against the wall of their compound in front of israeli troops. Arriving injenin today, the West Bank head of the red crescent. Youve had ten months of these sorts of incursions. How worried are you by whats happening today . Im very much worried because it seems theres a new stage. Theres a new, er. They are escalating, scaling up their operation. When they talk about evacuating civilians and using the Air Force to bombing the camps, this reminds us of gaza. Explosion. As night fell, explosions and gunfire from jenin� s refugee camp. Dusk can be a signal to test the armys control. The war in gaza is changing this conflict. An old front creating new fears in the face of a regional war. Lucy williamson, bbc news, jenin. These strikes come against a backdrop of rising violence by Extremistjewish Settler groups against palestinians in the occupied West Bank. Today, the united states launched another round of sanctions targeting one of those groups. Hashomer yosh is an israeli non governmental organisation that provides support to a settlement outpost. The us accuses the organisation of forcing palestinians to leave the village of khirbet zanuta, and then fencing it off to block their return. A civilian Security Coordinator in the West Bank was also sanctioned for attacking and expelling palestinians from a separate settlement. In response, israel prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said israel takes very seriously the imposition of sanctions on israeli citizens. The issue is under intense discussion with the united states. Lets get more from our state department correspondent, tom bateman. What can you tell us about these sanctions and crucially that response from the israelis . That response from the israelis . ,. , israelis . This is the latest raft of sanctions israelis . This is the latest raft of sanctions that, raft of sanctions that, remember, something new this year. Only been in the last few months The Us government started to impose sanctions on is really individuals and entities like we have seen today. What is interesting about today is these are among the very first, the target, this organisation that basically sends out volunteers with grazing animals to take over palestinian land and in some cases we have seen cases with that kind of activity in which palestinians are attacked, harassed and eventually forced out of their homes. Also an individual, you mentioned Security Co Ordinator at the extremist and ideological sentiment. At the extremist and ideologicalsentiment. In at the extremist and ideological sentiment. In many cases there are israeli Public Funds involved because the organisation received a lot of funding from the israeli government and also ministerial support in some cases. The individual sanctioned also is effectively a public employee because those kinds ofjobs and settlements come are salaried the israeli Public Funds. That is to me and a pleasant acknowledgement by the american government of the connection between the israeli state and settled violence. That feels like a slight shift forward in terms of what they are archly doing. That said, what we have not seen is what some observers of this mechanism have been calling for which is for sanctions to be applied against israeli government ministers because there are some israeli government foreign ultranationalist who in effect have his ideological leaders of individuals and entities being sanctioned, being called effectively for wrapping up further of the sanctions themselves. Further of the sanctions themselves. ,. a themselves. On the attacks we saw in the themselves. On the attacks we saw in the west themselves. On the attacks we saw in the West Bank, themselves. On the attacks we saw in the West Bank, the themselves. On the attacks we saw in the West Bank, the 170 | saw in the West Bank, the 170 general condemned the large scale Military Operations is really engaged in but what do they mean for The Us and its support, Given International Courtjustice has already bought the israeli occupation as a legal. Ill make an important question because the dynamics in the occupied West Bank are different from the way things are unfolded in gaza for many reasons. And many different elements devoured. The us position on what happens to the occupied West Bank is in effect a more nuanced. In particular because of the international environment in which we are seeing a growing sense among international organisations. You mentioned the international court of justice, it is prepared to say the occupation itself, israels military operation breaches law. ~. , military operation breaches law. ~. ,. , g law. We heard that from the icj this year law. We heard that from the icj this year. When law. We heard that from the icj this year. When you law. We heard that from the icj this year. When you see law.

This week alone. In one case killing two teenagers, according to the un. I put the question to The Us, what does it mean about this and they said effectively they support israels right for Counterterrorism Operations but called for an end to instability. Called for an end to instability. The here The Us, the fbi says it hasnt been able to find a motive for the attempted assassination of Donald Trump last month. It said the Gunman Thomas Crooks had searched extensively online for events that involved both the former president and Joe Biden, before settling on the Trump Rally in pennsylvania. Officers said crooks online activity showed a mixture of ideologies and there was no evidence of any co conspirators. John sudworth reports. The fbi has come in for intense criticism. First and foremost for its failure to protect the former president on the day of the shooting but more recently over its handling of the investigation and evidence. This briefing was in part an attempt by the fbi to push back on some of the more recent criticisms, saying the protocols of evidence have been followed and it is doing all it can to get to be bottom of the motives of the attack. What is interesting is despite hundreds of hours of Video Footage they have trawled through, despite hundreds of interviews carried out, despite the intense scrutiny on the social Media Use and Internet Footprint of Thomas Crookes, they are no clear to establishing a motive. He remains something of an enigma. They say his social Media Use shows a mixture of years, no real clues as to motive. Although there was intensive planning, leading up to the event, the evidence shows Thomas Crookes was searching both republican and democrat events.

He was born in the country, but he left in 2014 and these days hes a citizen of both france and dubai. The Messaging App that he founded is called telegram.

I will be back shortly. Stay with us. Hello again. Wednesday brought us some big contrasts in the weather across the uk. Now, for the North And West of the country, we did have a lot of cloud, and that brought some outbreaks of rain at times. You can see that on the combined Satellite And Radar picture. Some of the heaviest rain went into western scotland, where we also had some of the lowest temperatures. For example, in harris, we only had temperatures of 1a degrees. In sharp contrast to that, skipping across these various Weather Fronts, we actually had plenty of sunshine and quite hot weather across East Anglia and south east england, with temperatures peaking at 30 degrees in cambridge. Confirmation, then, that the weather did indeed look a lot cheerier for some. Now, looking at the Weather Picture over the next few hours, weve got a cold front whizzing its way eastwards across the country. What thats essentially doing is its bringing cooler and fresher air in across the uk, so it wont be so hot across eastern areas of england as we look at the forecast in detail for thursday. And for many of us, its going to be quite a fresh start to the day. Temperatures even in single figures across parts of eastern scotland. Now for scotland and Northern Ireland, this Weather Front will bring a zone of thicker cloud, outbreaks of rain for a time, followed by some showers into the afternoon. There could be a few showers at times across the northwest of england, maybe across parts of wales, but these few and far between, i think across the midlands, East Anglia, southern england, its a largely dry day. Still warm in the sunshine, 23 degrees. Not bad, but its not going to be as hot as it was. Were not going to see temperatures of 30, for example. Then for friday and the weekend, this area of High Pressure is set to move across the uk. The other Thing Weve got to watch out for is the risk of a few showers coming up from france, but for the time being, it looks like theyll stay away. So friday, plenty of sunshine, just a few showers for orkney and shetland, where it will continue to be quite breezy. Otherwise, temperatures generally in the high teens to low 20s for scotland and Northern Ireland, and about 20 to 23 widely across england and wales. It then starts to get a bit warmer for scotland and Northern Ireland as we start to get a southerly drift, so temperatures more widely will reach the 20s as we go through the weekend. Therell still be a lot of dry and sunny weather for england and wales. Just an outside chance of a Shower Working in to the coast of southern england. Our temperatures, well, coming up to about 22 in glasgow, so feeling quite a bit warmer here. And a fine weekend, sunday looks good as well. Could see 25 across parts of eastern england, but then some showers around next week.
