The Israeli operation comes two weeks after seven IDF armoured vehicles were disabled or destroyed during an earlier raid on the refugee camp. The current operation is obviously meant to prevent a repetition of that humiliation.

The Israeli military on Monday deployed hundreds of soldiers and launched air attacks on the occupied West Bank city of Jenin, killing at least eight Palestinians and vowing to continue the operation for “as long as it takes.”
The big picture: It’s one of the largest assaults on a West Bank city in nearly 20 years.
- The raid and drone strikes began early Monday, with Israel saying it had launched an operation targeting “terrorist infrastructures” in the densely populated Jenin refugee camp, which is a militant stronghold.
- Gunfights between the Israeli military and Palestinian militants were reported to be taking place by Monday afternoon. At least 50 Palestinians have been injured, with 10 in critical condition, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health.
- The Jenin municipality accused Israel of “deliberately destroying” the city’s “water networks’ main lines.”
What they’re saying: “What the Israeli occupation government is doing in the city of Jenin and its camp is a new war crime against our defenseless people,” Palestinian Authority spokesperson Nabil Abu Rudeineh said in a statement.
- The PA was holding an emergency meeting Monday evening local time about the escalating situation in Jenin.
IDF spokesperson Lt. Col. Richard Hecht said the Israeli military will continue the operation for “as long as it takes.”
- “We want to break that mindset of a safe haven” for “terrorists,” Hecht told reporters.
Neighboring Jordan and Eygpt as well as the Organization of Islamic Cooperation quickly condemned the raid.
- The operation “constitutes a violation of international humanitarian law and obligations of the [Israeli] occupation,” Jordanian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Sinan al-Majali said in a statement.
UN envoy Tor Wennesland said on Twitter that the escalation “is very dangerous” and “reminds us of the extremely volatile & unpredictable situation across the occupied West Bank.”
- “All must ensure the civilian population is protected,” he said. He added he has been in touch with “all relevant parties to urgently de-escalate the situation.”
Palestinian factions in the West Bank and Gaza said they will not abandon Jenin.
- The “Israeli occupation’s attempts to take the battle to the streets of Jenin and the West Bank would be in vain, assuring that Jenin would not be left alone,” senior Islamic Jihad member Khaled Al-Batsh told Al Jazeera.
State of play: The Israeli military over the last year has stepped up its raids in Jenin, where Israel says several attacks against Israeli citizens have been planned and launched. The IDF also conducts near-daily raids in other Palestinian cities and towns.
- The Israeli military has killed at least 130 Palestinians in the West Bank in this year, per the UN and news reports. Many have been militants but several civilians, including children, have also been killed.
- Last month, the Israeli military killed several Palestinians, including two 15-year-olds, in a large-scale Jenin raid that included the use of armed drones for the first time in about two decades.
- Nearly 30 Israelis have been killed in attacks by Arabs inside the West Bank and in Israel over the last year, AP reports.
- At the same time, Israeli settler attacks against Palestinians and their homes and cars have increased as well.
“vowing to continue the operation for “as long as it takes.””
Translation: “The jews in occupied Palestine will continue killing men, women and children until their latest bout of blood lust is sated. Can anyone argue that jews are not daemons?
Perhaps launched with the turmoil in France acting as cover and distraction………
Of course Macron is a tribe member like Mel Gibstein in Hollywood…..whose activity some years ago distracted the world away from events in Israel.
Every Palestinian in the diaspora after 75 years of Jewish genocide can honestly say…
“I, I have family who died in the holocaust”
As for Palestinian Christians it is a holocaust.
Ah yes! The ever screaming crybaby Jew while he’s beating you. Jews were the originators and the inventors of “tit for tat.”
Even for the slightest of infractions, the Jew will want to seek and satisfy his blood lust.
They are nothing but f###ing demonic filthy pigs. The darkest depths of hell is where they originate from. Hate them with every fiber of my being.
Maybe in my next post, I will tell you how I really feel.
An eight-minute speech to parliament attacking the Tory government’s bill to ban the boycotting of Israel. Jeremy Corbyn is spot on. And how does a boycott ban work anyway if they can’t force you to buy?

They were not given Gaza, the Golan Heights and the West Bank area on a silver platter, so they carve them out with a hammer and chisel, all of it in “the News”, and the chisel never wears out
Love thier comments 130 Palestinians have been killed mainly militants 😆 pls shut up. Then it goes 30 IDF soldiers killed don’t you mean 30 isreali terrorist have been killed? Just high lighting some corrections that need to be had.
I told you all that when Bibi gets back on the throne, he would go Jew ape shit and start killing with greater lust. Bibi just wrings his hands in pain, all the action is up north in Jewkraine, so Bibi waited until our July 4th to launch his attack.
Jews are worse than filthy pig demons, they are worse than Satan himself. Just think how much God hates you – he put your gentle soul on a planet with the universe’s worst psychotic criminals – he put you in hell, on earth, with Jews.
Yet all these Ziowhore Christians just love Israel, Bibi, and Jews … and not only that they love God.
How brave the jews are! Using F35 fighter planes against people who have NO airforce at all, and thousands of the best armed rat-thing soldiers against people with light arms and bottle rockets.. No wonder they are hated every where human beings really see what they do and ARE!
and the christians worship this jewish demon JHWH .
how stupid !
this demon wants you goyim erradicated ,
and this demon lives in every heart
of every jew !
