A recent surge in violence in the West Bank has resulted in at least six deaths and 35 injuries, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health. The Israeli army conducted a counterterrorism operation in the Jenin refugee camp, targeting alleged militants. Local officials condemned the action, describing it as an invasion. This incident follows ongoing tensions marked by Israeli settlers attacking Palestinian properties, emphasizing the fragile situation in the region. The Palestinian Authority had previously attempted to regain control in Jenin, complicating the political landscape further before the operation.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that the operation aimed to eradicate terrorism while the Israeli military labeled it as part of the ongoing 'Iron Wall' initiative.
Jenin Governor Kamal Abu al-Rub described the assault as an invasion, noting the overwhelming military presence: 'Apache planes in the sky and Israeli military vehicles everywhere.'
