At least ten Palestinians were killed in an Israeli army attack on Jenin in the West Bank.

This was announced by the Palestinian health ministry, which also reports more than 100 injured, 20 of them seriously.

The exit from the refugee camp of 3,000 people (about 18,000 inhabitants) was also confirmed, while the army of the Jewish state strongly denied having ordered the residents to leave the place and defined the news as "baseless".

A very tense situation, so much so that the Palestinian president Abu Mazen has asked the UN and the international community "to intervene urgently to force Israel to stop the evacuation of the inhabitants" of the Jenin refugee camp.

"A crime - added Abu Mazen - which is added to the crimes of the occupation". The Palestinian leader also decided "to stop all contacts and meetings with Israel and to continue to interrupt security coordination".
