Operation Iron Wall: IDF Targets Terror Stronghold in Jenin Amid Escalating Threats
The IDF, Shin Bet, and Border Police have launched Operation Iron Wall, a large-scale counterterrorism operation targeting Jenin, a hub for terror activity in northern Shomron. This follows a deadly attack two weeks ago linked to Jenin’s Islamic Jihad terror group, which killed three Israelis near Kedumim • Full Story
The operation began with drone strikes eliminating two terrorists, followed by the entry of ground forces and special units into Jenin. The IDF aims to dismantle terrorist infrastructure and neutralize active threats, vowing to continue until objectives are met.
Prime Minister Netanyahu emphasized the operation as part of a broader strategy to combat Iranian-backed terror in Yehuda, Shomron, and beyond. Defense Minister Yisrael Katz highlighted the worsening security situation due to increased threats from Iran and Hamas, including attempts to smuggle weapons via the Jordanian border.
This operation also occurs alongside the recent ceasefire/hostage deal, which involves releasing hundreds of prisoners to Yehuda, Shomron, and east Jerusalem, further complicating security dynamics in the region.
