Israeli Forces Kill 3 Palestinians in New Jenin Raid as U.S. Defense Secretary Lands in Tel Aviv
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the occupied West Bank, Israeli forces killed three Palestinians in
another raid in Jenin, less than 48 hours after a previous raid in the
city killed six Palestinians. Meanwhile, U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd
Austin arrived in Tel Aviv today, after delaying his visit by one day,
amid a heightened spate of violence against Palestinians and ongoing
mass protests against the government's plan to gut the judiciary. Austin
is expected to also discuss Iran during his visit to Israel.
