Israel says that it is just getting started expanding its war in the West Bank.
“Last week, Israel launched its largest attack on the West Bank since 2002, with raids focused on Jenin and Tulkarm in the north,” Antiwar.com reports.
“The Jenin operation is just the beginning,” a security official told Israel Hayom.
Israel says that it considers the West Bank the “second most critical front.”
Jenin officials report that Israel destroyed “70% of the roads and infrastructure in the city, and about 80% of the water has been cut off to residents.”
Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz said the West Bank should be evacuated in the same manner that they have called for evacuations of Gaza with an aim for Israeli control of the region.
Why are they doing this? Hamas is not in control in the West Bank so their war with Hamas would logically not extend to the West Bank. One Palestinian described life there “like a horror movie.”
