Israeli Army Announces New Operation in Northern West Bank
The operation targets terror infrastructure in northern West Bank's 'five villages' to prevent attacks, involving multiple brigades and lasting several days, officials said.
- On Wednesday morning, the Israel Defense Forces and Shin Bet began a wide-scale counterterrorism operation overnight in the northern West Bank, officials said.
- After intelligence detected attempts since August, officials said terror organisations tried to establish a foothold in the cluster of villages and launched attacks in recent months.
- Led by the Menashe, Samaria and Commando brigades, the operation targets the 'five villages' including Tammun and Tubas, with searches to arrest suspects and dismantle terror infrastructure.
- The governor of Tubas announced a curfew beginning at 4 a.m., and curfews were declared in multiple locations as military officials said the operation aims to prevent terrorists regrouping into battalion-like formations.
- Violence has surged since October 7, 2023, and officials linked the uptick in West Bank violence to the Hamas-led attacks amid reports of over 500,000 Israelis in settlements and at least 1,000 Palestinians killed and 32,000 displaced this year.
