In response to recent deadly attacks and rising tensions, Israel's security forces have officially designated the West Bank as a combat zone, making it the second active front after Gaza. The decision follows the launch of Operation "Summer Camps" in northern Samaria, the largest military operation in the region since Operation Defensive Shield. The operation is expected to expand to additional areas in the West Bank.
Local authorities in the West Bank are calling for decisive action, with demands for emergency measures to combat the escalating violence. Israeli security forces are focused on dismantling terror infrastructures, with plans for broader operations and targeted arrests.
As tensions continue to rise, there's growing concern that another major attack could be imminent. The situation remains volatile, with Israel determined to stabilize the region ahead of the upcoming Jewish holidays.
