Israeli security forces began a military operation yesterday in Jenin, in the Israeli-occupied West Bank. Eight people were killed and dozens injured within hours, the Palestinian health ministry reported.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel said the operation was aimed at “eradicating terrorism.” Israeli forces moved in shortly after Trump rescinded sanctions against Jewish extremists and settlers accused of violence against Palestinians.
Trump’s move came even as Jewish extremists raided and set fires in Palestinian villages to protest the cease-fire in Gaza, Israeli and Palestinian officials said.
The head of Israel’s military said he would step down over the Hamas-led Oct. 7 attack.
