Israel's 'Iron Wall' Operation in Jenin Deepens West Bank Turmoil

The military assault follows a Gaza ceasefire, as violence escalates across the occupied Palestinian territories and political tensions rise in Israel.

  • The Israeli military launched 'Iron Wall,' a large-scale operation targeting Palestinian militants in Jenin, resulting in 12 deaths and over 40 injuries, with civilians reportedly among the casualties.
  • Hundreds of Jenin residents have fled the area under evacuation orders, while Israeli forces have restricted access to hospitals and humanitarian aid, according to local reports.
  • The operation coincides with intensified settler violence across the West Bank, with at least 21 Palestinians injured since the Gaza ceasefire began on January 19.
  • Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu faces political challenges as far-right coalition partners demand a resumption of the Gaza war, threatening the fragile ceasefire and his government’s stability.
  • The ceasefire brokered with Hamas, facilitated by U.S. President Donald Trump, has led to the release of hostages and prisoners but remains tenuous amid ongoing violence and political uncertainty.
