Israeli Military Operations Intensify in Jenin, Nine Palestinians Killed

Israeli security forces launched a significant military operation, dubbed 'Operation Iron Wall', in the West Bank city of Jenin, marking a shift in their strategy aimed at eliminating terrorist infrastructure. This operation has resulted in the deaths of at least nine Palestinians and has been met with fierce resistance from local armed groups, who engaged in armed clashes and ambushes against Israeli forces. Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz emphasized that the operation seeks to prevent future terrorism, learning from past tactics used in Gaza. The Palestinian health ministry reported multiple injuries among civilians, while officials condemned the operation as an invasion. The escalation in Jenin follows a ceasefire in Gaza and has raised concerns about increasing violence and instability in the region. As tensions mount, international calls for intervention to address the hostilities have been voiced by Palestinian leaders.
