Israel intensifies military operations in West Bank, claims IDF

Israel has expanded its military operations in the West Bank, specifically in Nur Shams, as announced by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) on February 9, 2025. This follows a significant anti-terrorism operation launched in Jenin on January 21. The IDF claims to have killed several terrorists and detained many suspects during these operations. Reports indicate that the military is destroying property and infrastructure, leading to the displacement of families, some of whom are seeking refuge in schools. In Gaza, Israeli soldiers have vacated the Netzarim corridor, an area they had occupied for 15 months. Hamas has declared this a victory, asserting that the return of displaced Palestinians and ongoing prisoner exchanges contradict Israeli claims of success.
