Israel has launched a large-scale military operation in the occupied West Bank, marking the largest such operation since 2002. The operation, named "Operation Summer Camps," targets areas including Jenin, Tulkarm, Tubas, Nablus, and the Jordan Valley. Israeli forces have deployed helicopters, drones, and ground troops in the offensive, which is described as a counterterrorism effort. Palestinian officials report that at least nine Palestinians have been killed in the raids, with some reports indicating the death toll could be as high as eleven. The Israeli military has sealed off the city of Jenin, and the operation is expected to continue for several days. This operation is the largest since "Operation Protective Wall."
