Israel Applies Gaza Tactics in West Bank Offensive Against Militant Groups

Israeli forces are implementing military strategies learned during the Gaza conflict in a significant operation in Jenin, aimed at countering militant groups like Hamas and Islamic Jihad. This operation, which marks the third major incursion into Jenin in less than two years, has resulted in at least 10 deaths and numerous injuries, with reports of continuous gunfire and explosions from residents. The Israeli Defense Minister stated that this approach reflects a shift in military tactics, focusing on the destruction of improvised explosive devices and utilizing advanced weaponry, including air strikes. The United Nations has expressed concern over the humanitarian impact, noting that the Jenin camp is now nearly uninhabitable, with thousands displaced. As tensions rise, this military action threatens to disrupt a fragile ceasefire recently established in Gaza. The operation has prompted many residents to flee their homes as the situation escalates.
