The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have initiated a significant military operation in the occupied West Bank, marking the largest such action in over two decades. This operation has resulted in the deaths of at least nine individuals, with ongoing concerns regarding the humanitarian impact on civilians in the region.
The Israeli military's actions in the West Bank come amidst a broader conflict with Hamas, which has seen a substantial increase in violence since the outbreak of war following the October 7 attacks. The situation is further complicated by the presence of Iranian-backed militant groups, raising fears of an expanded conflict.
