ISRAEL HAS LAUNCHED a large-scale military raid with drone strikes and hundreds of troops in the northern occupied West Bank, killing seven Palestinians in what the army labelled an “extensive counterterrorism effort.”
“There is bombing from the air and an invasion from the ground,” Mahmoud al-Saadi, director of the Palestinian Red Crescent in Jenin, told AFP.The Israeli army said its forces had struck a “joint operations center”, which served as a command post for the “Jenin Brigade”, a local militant group. Netanyahu’s coalition contains hardline West Bank settlers, including extreme-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir.
However, Netanyahu has pledged to “strengthen settlements” and has expressed no interest in reviving peace talks, which have been moribund since 2014.
