What exactly did Israel do in the occupied West Bank?

Israel has deployed three tanks in the Jenin refugee camp, the first previous publication in the West Bank occupied since 2002, when Israel launched a bloody campaign on a Palestinian uprising known as the second intifada, which lasted until 2005.

Israel began its attack on January 21 and moved beyond Jenin and its camp in the south to Kataba and West to Batrat, and east of Tolkram to Nur Shams Refugee camp.

Why now? What does Israel want?

Netanyahu was subjected to pressure from the extreme right -wing partners to suppress the armed resistance in the West Bank during the fighting in Gaza and Lebanon.

His announcement that Israel was “the intervention of terrorists’ strongholds, the settlement of the entire streets used by terrorists, and that their homes” also came after a series of bus explosions near Tel Aviv on Thursday evening. There were no reported losses and no groups demanded responsibility.

Palestinians view the expansion of raids as part of a wider effort to support Israeli control over the West Bank, where three million Palestinians live.

The Israeli media reported to sources close to the Prime Minister, saying that the army intends to create large corridors in Tolkram and Jenin-such as the so-called Netzarim Corridor in Gaza-the movement of its forces and heavy equipment.

Is there any help for those who were expelled?

Israel forced the main provider of aid to the Palestinians – the United Nations Relief and Business Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA) – to close its headquarters in Jerusalem. On Sunday, Catz UNRWA ordered the suspension of activity in West Bank camps.

Israel accuses UNRWA of supporting armed groups and passed a law On January 30, it was banned from work in Israel.

Will this affect the ceasefire in Gaza?

The Hamas base, Naim Al -Jazeera, told Hamas that Hamas condemned the Israeli raids and saw them as “intentionally sabotaging the deal” and its theater in the renewed war.

On Sunday, Netanyahu said that the army increased its “operational willingness” around Gaza and was “ready to return to severe fighting at any moment.”
