Three Palestinians were killed and scores more injured by an Israeli air strike in the occupied West Bank city of Jenin on Wednesday, the Palestinian Red Crescent said.

Israel is expected on Sunday to begin releasing more than 1,000 Palestinian prisoners, according to the terms of the cease-fire and hostage release agreement with Hamas.

The Palestinian Authority (PA) signed a truce with the Jenin Battalions following over a month of fighting, a senior advisor to PA President Mahmoud Abbas told Al Arabiya on Friday.

As the PA intensifies its military operation against Islamist fighters in Jenin, experts warn that its weakening authority could create a dangerous power vacuum in Judea and Samaria.

Israel released a list of 735 prisoners on Saturday to give families of their victims a short amount of time to file legal petitions.

These terrorists murdered Ari Fuld, the Palmer family, Henkin family, Eliyahu Asheri, Sarona market, Cafe Hillel, Cafe Moment, the Jerusalem #18, #6, #32 bus

Israeli occupation forces killed a Palestinian man in a raid in Jenin and detained as while other areas across the occupied West Bank saw new Israeli raids and multiple new arrests.

Netanyahu’s office accused Hamas of reneging on parts of the agreement in an attempt “to extort last minute concessions.”

This initial phase, set to commence on Sunday and span 42 days, will see Israel gradually release the prisoners as well as 1,167 residents detained from Gaza.

But the PA security forces have faced strong opposition in Jenin, and have fought clashes with militant fighters in the small city in the north of the West Bank. Clashes have also broken out in other West Bank cities including Tubas in the Jordan Valley and Tulkarm in the north.

Israel's security cabinet convened to decide whether to approve a deal that would release dozens of hostages held by militants in Gaza and pause the 15-month-war.
