The Israeli military has significantly intensified its operations in the northern occupied West Bank, particularly in towns such as Tammun, located north of Nablus. On the night of February 2, Israeli troops conducted a raid in Tammun, which followed an Israeli airstrike last week that killed 10 militants. During the raid, soldiers recovered an M-16 rifle and magazines, furthering the ongoing security operation. The military spokesperson confirmed that additional raids were being prepared in other towns and villages in the region, including Jenin, where an operation was already underway.
In Jenin, Israeli ground troops and bulldozers reportedly forced families to evacuate their homes in the outskirts of the town. They also blocked the main road leading to the area with earth mounds. This raid comes after a series of significant military actions launched by Israel since January 21, 2025, as part of a broader counterterrorism campaign aimed at dismantling militant infrastructure.
The Palestinian Red Crescent reported the death of a 73-year-old man in the Jenin refugee camp, allegedly shot by Israeli forces. Since the beginning of the operation, at least 25 Palestinians have been killed, according to Palestinian sources. The Israeli military asserts that its actions are necessary to target militants and confiscate weapons and military equipment.
In addition to the human toll, these military operations have displaced families, disrupted daily life, and led to the suspension of school classes in affected areas like Tammun and al-Far’a refugee camp. The operations have sparked controversy, as local humanitarian organizations like the Palestinian Red Crescent accuse Israeli forces of impeding medical efforts to assist civilians.
The scale and intensity of these operations reflect Israel’s broader security strategy to target militant cells in the West Bank, which has seen increasing violence between Israeli forces and Palestinian factions.
