The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) began a major operation Monday morning by sending in military troops and drones into a West Bank refugee camp in an effort to take out terrorist operatives, according to the IDF’s official social media account.
The operation has so far resulted in the death of eight Palestinians and injured several dozens of others, as the Israeli military used drones to drop explosives while hundreds of troops entered the town of Jenin, a known stronghold for multiple terrorist organizations and the location of over 10,0000 refugees, according to Reuters. The Israeli military dismissed accusations by Palestinians that it was simply striking civilian targets, arguing that the operation is aimed at taking out “terrorist infrastructures.”
