Israel's military launched a significant counter-terror operation in the occupied West Bank, resulting in at least nine Palestinian fatalities. The operation, carried out in Jenin and Tulkarem, aimed to dismantle alleged Islamic-Iranian terrorist infrastructure. Foreign Minister Israel Katz emphasized the need to combat this threat, likening it to the situation in Gaza.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) identified a pattern of weapon smuggling and attacks originating from the West Bank. The Palestinian Authority condemned Israel's actions, citing violations and crimes against Palestinians.
