The latest days have seen an increase in the escalation of the attacks of the State of Israel in the West Bank, including helicopters firing on civilians, drone bombings, undercover Israeli agents, murders, arrests, and theft and destruction of property and land.
The Palestine Chronicle reports, on November 26th, that “The Israeli occupation army launched a large-scale military assault at dawn on Wednesday in Tubas, in the northern occupied West Bank. The offensive included widespread raids on residential homes, many of which were seized and converted into military posts.”
The assault reportedly involves three brigades: Menashe, Shomron, and Commandos. According to local sources “large reinforcements and military bulldozers entered the governorate, while Apache helicopters flew at low altitude over Tubas, firing rounds into the airspace”. The army also sealed of the main roads around Tubas in order to “strengthen control over the area”
In the town of Tammoun, soldiers forced a family to leave their home so it could be used as a military base.
On November 27th, Palestine Chronicle reports that “the Air Force struck a target in Jenin shortly after clashes broke out between a Palestinian fighter and an undercover Israeli unit.” Israeli soldiers besieged a house in the Jabal Abu Dhahir neighborhood after special units infiltrated the area. Reinforcements were later deployed. Afterwards two prisoners were made, who were executed in cold blood by the Israelis, as it was recorded by many media outlets:
The Israeli occupation army confirmed that its helicopters were providing support to commando units operating in the northern West Bank.
