Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz says troops to remain « for the coming year. »
Israel sent tanks into the West Bank on Sunday for the first time since 2002, telling its military to prepare for “an extended stay” as the Jewish state remains determined to stamp out terrorism in the territory’s refugee camps.
Several tanks were seen moving into Jenin as a fragile ceasefire between the terrorist organization Hamas and Israel remains in place.
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said he and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered the military to “increase the intensity of the activity to thwart terrorism” across the West Bank.
