Israel has launched an "anti-terrorist" attack in the West Bank that has not been seen since the Second Intifada (ANC). Jenin, Tulkarm and Tubas have been the cities that have been involved through drones, helicopters and military battalions and have already killed at least nine people. According to various sources, the operation has all the appearance that it will be extended over time.
