According to him, the operation "Iron Wall" is aimed at combating terrorism in the areas adjacent to Israeli Judea and Samaria.
As reported by The Jerusalem Post, in the morning, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) began operations in Jenin, utilizing tanks and air support.
On January 6, local terrorist groups carried out a series of attacks on the Palestinian Authority security forces, notes The Jerusalem Post. The authorities were unable to restore order on their own and evacuated the operation zone before the IDF's arrival, according to the article.
Defense Minister Israel Katz, speaking at the Foreign Affairs and Security Committee, stated that "the threat to settlements, communities, and settlers in Judea and Samaria, as well as along the demarcation line, is increasing," writes "Israel News." He instructed the IDF to "act decisively and attack with great force to curb terrorism."
