The Israeli army announced on Wednesday at dawn that it was launching �Operation Summer Camps,� a large-scale military operation in the
cities and refugee camps of the northern West Bank, including Jenin,
Tulkarem, and Tubas. The operation is targeting Palestinian armed
resistance groups that have spread throughout the northern West Bank
over the past three years. The Jenin Brigade, the Tulkarem Brigade,
and the Tubas Brigade have come under an intensified Israeli
counterinsurgency campaign since the summer of 2023, which has only
intensified since October 7.

As of the time of writing, the operation has involved the use of
reconnaissance planes and helicopters, the entry of armored vehicles
and D9 bulldozers into neighborhoods (causing widespread destruction
to civilian infrastructure), the killing of 10 people (mostly through
drone strikes), and the injury of dozens of people from gunfire.

Israeli forces have imposed a blockade on the cities of Jenin, Tubas,
and Tulkarem, closing streets and roads leading in and out of the
cities, while hundreds of troops have been mobilized to invade the
three refugee camps where resistance fighters are stationed. The army
has also deliberately obstructed the work of ambulance teams,
preventing them from reaching the injured in areas targeted by
airstrikes.

The Israeli army radio reported that the operation in the northern
West Bank is the largest of its kind since Operation Defensive Shield
in 2002, and is expected to last for several days.

The Israeli Minister of Foreign Affairs, Israel Katz, said on X that
the operation must deal with the armed groups �just as we deal with
the terrorist infrastructure in Gaza, including the temporary
evacuation of Palestinian residents,� adding that the Israeli assault
is a �war on everything, and we must win it.�

The savagery of the Zionist forces is the worst in military history,
surpassing even Ghengis Kahn, Josef Stalin, Attila the Hun and many
other armies that spread genocide and cruelty along its path
