Two days after the ceasefire in Gaza went into effect, the Israeli military murdered at least nine Palestinians in the occupied West Bank on Tuesday as its prime minister declared the beginning of a “large-scale military operation” in the unrest-plagued city of Jenin.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a statement that the military action, which included the Israeli military, police, and Shin Bet security agency, was started by Israel’s security cabinet in an effort to “eradicate terrorism in Jenin.” “Iron Wall” is the name of the operation, he claimed.
“People in the West Bank and its revolutionary youth should mobilize and escalate the clash with the occupation army at all points of contact with it,” said a statement released by Hamas in response.
