Prime Minister Netanyahu said last night: “In recent months Jenin has become a city of refuge for terrorism. We are not prepared to accept this – and we are putting a stop to it.

Support from the Opposition: The operation coincides with continued public protests and strong political opposition over the government’s plans to advance aspects of their judicial reform. Despite this, the miliary operation received backing by opposition leaders.

Context: This is the largest offensive the IDF has undertaken in twenty years.

Looking ahead: The operation is expected to last another day or two, with some military experts advising to end sooner before there are any Israeli fatalities.
