This live blog has now ended. Follow The New Arab TwitterFacebook and Instagram for the latest news on Israel's continued aggression in Jenin which entered its second day on Tuesday.

At least 11 Palestinians have been killed in the deadly incursion in Jenin, where gunfire and explosions were heard overnight. Many of the victims were teenagers.

Palestinians have expressed that the ongoing raid in Jenin is the worst in two decades, while the operation has forced at least 3,000 to flee their homes from the city's refugee camp as Israeli forces have warned that such homes will be "shelled".

Meanwhile, in Tel Aviv, several people were injured following a stabbing and car-ramming incident, with the suspect being killed.

Many international bodies and NGOs have condemned the Israeli aggression in Jenin, including the UN, the World Health Organization and the Arab League.

“The killing, maiming and the destruction of property must stop," UN human rights chief Volker Turk said on the ongoing violence.
