The Israeli military has described the assault, which began early on Wednesday, as the largest in the West Bank in two decades, framing it as a counterterrorism operation targeting Palestinian fighters.
Israeli assaults in the West Bank have occurred on an almost daily basis since 2022, with approximately 1,000 Palestinians killed due to military raids and settler attacks during this time.
The governor of Jenin, Kamal Abu al-Rub, stated that Israeli forces had cut off access to hospitals and other medical facilities in Jenin, indicating the severe humanitarian impact of the military actions.
Since 1967, Israeli policy towards the West Bank has relied on force to maintain control, rather than pursuing an agreement for a Palestinian state, highlighting the ongoing conflict dynamics.
