Israel deploys tanks in West Bank for first time in 22 years

The Israeli military has deployed tanks in the West Bank for the first time since 2002. This move is part of an expansion of counter-terrorism operations in the Jenin area, involving elite infantry and commando units. Since January 21, the Israeli Defense Forces have been conducting a major offensive in northern West Bank. Reports indicate that additional military units are preparing for further actions in Jenin. This escalation marks a significant shift in Israel's military strategy in the region, as tank deployments have not occurred in over two decades.
