Israel-Palestine Conflict

Early Monday, the Israeli military initiated a major operation in an area known to be a militant stronghold in the occupied West Bank. According to local health officials, at least three Palestinians lost their lives during the action.

The Israeli forces infiltrated what they labeled a “unified command center” for militants situated in the Jenin refugee camp. However, additional details regarding the operation were not immediately forthcoming.

The Israeli media reported that the military also carried out airstrikes, re-adopting a strategy that was mostly discontinued over the last two decades following a gradual de-escalation of a Palestinian revolt against Israel’s indefinite occupation.
