Israeli Military Expands West Bank Operations, Targets Jenin Refugee Camp

The operation, launched on January 21, has resulted in widespread destruction, dozens of deaths, and heightened tensions in the occupied territory.

  • The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) continue their military campaign, 'Iron Wall,' targeting alleged terrorist infrastructure in Jenin and surrounding areas of the West Bank.
  • Since the operation began, the IDF claims to have killed over 50 individuals labeled as 'terrorists' and apprehended more than 100 suspects.
  • Palestinian officials report significant destruction, including the demolition of 23 buildings in Jenin and damage to a local hospital, with civilian casualties including a 73-year-old man.
  • The IDF has deployed drones, bulldozers, and airstrikes, asserting that the operation aims to dismantle groups linked to Hamas and Islamic Jihad, which Israel accuses of receiving Iranian support.
  • The violence has escalated tensions in the region, with Palestinian authorities condemning the actions as excessive and likening the destruction to previous military campaigns in Gaza.
