Palestinian President Mahmoud
Abbas cut off communications and security cooperation with Israel on Monday
after Israel's massive military operation against Islamists in the West
Bank city of Jenin, his office said in a statement.
Following the meeting with other
Palestinian Authority leaders, Abbas made the decision.
During earlier rounds of
conflict, Abbas has briefly severed coordination with Israel multiple
times.
At least 9 Palestinians
were martyred Monday earlier after Israel attacked a refugee camp in
Jenin.
The Israeli military unleashed
air and ground attacks on the Jenin refugee camp on Monday, hurting and killing
dozens of Palestinians.
According to local
residents, Israel carried out at least 10 airstrikes on Jenin late on Monday,
causing fires to erupt from the remains of the destroyed buildings.
