Israeli Military Raids West Bank, Nine Palestinians Killed

Israel has initiated a significant military operation across the West Bank, claiming to target militants in response to a series of attacks, including a recent attempted suicide bombing attributed to Hamas. The operation, which has resulted in at least nine Palestinian deaths, involves airstrikes and ground raids in cities like Jenin and Tulkarem. Israeli officials assert that the raids aim to prevent further violence against Israelis, while Palestinian authorities report that access to hospitals and roads has been severely restricted. The Israeli military has described this operation as part of a broader strategy to dismantle militant infrastructure, echoing tactics used in Gaza. The escalation has raised fears among Palestinians of potential displacement and intensified violence, as militant groups call for resistance against these incursions. This marks one of the most extensive coordinated military actions in the West Bank in nearly two decades, with ongoing clashes reported.
