Israeli forces initiated a counterterrorism operation in Jenin, claiming it aims to eliminate militancy in the area, coinciding with a ceasefire in Gaza. Local officials reported two Palestinians killed in an Israeli airstrike targeting a refugee camp known for harboring militants. The ongoing violence, exacerbated by the Gaza conflict, has led to over 800 Palestinian deaths in the West Bank since October 2023. Tensions also increased due to attacks by Israeli settlers against Palestinians, coinciding with US policy shifts under President Trump.
The operation in Jenin is part of a broader Israeli strategy to eradicate militancy in the region, escalating violence in the already tense West Bank.
Reports indicate that violence in the West Bank has surged since the onset of the Gaza conflict, with over 800 Palestinian casualties reported in Israeli operations.
