At Least 10 Dead in Largest Israeli Military Operation in West Bank in Two Decades

In a significant escalation of violence in the West Bank, at least 10 people have been killed in the largest Israeli military operation in the region in two decades. This operation comes amid rising tensions following the International Court of Justice’s ruling last month, which stated that Israel’s continued occupation of the territory captured in 1967 breaches international law. The Israeli Defense Forces executed what they described as a counterterrorism strike, targeting the cities of Janine, Tulkarm, Nablus, and Tubas, areas known for harboring armed Palestinian groups as well as civilians. The operation has sparked concerns of a new phase of conflict, reminiscent of the situation in Gaza.
