Israel’s military has launched air raids on the Jenin refugee camp in the northern occupied West Bank, carrying out an ongoing large-scale attack that involved a missile and the killing of at least four Palestinians, according to residents and officials.

    I don’t think they’ll stop until they have the whole historic area of Israel (which includes more than just Palestine.) Crazy that this is allowed.

    How does this not lead to sanctions and international isolation? It’s incredible that so many countries actively support Israel, or just look away from this.

      IDF says they’re targeting a command centre for the Jenin Brigade, “a place where armed terrorists would gather before and after terrorist activities,” the IDF said, adding that the camp was a “site for weapons and explosives” and “hub for coordination and communication among the terrorists,” in an effort to break the “safe haven” mentality of the area for terrorists.

      They say they told the Palestinian Authoroty and Jordan they were going to do this in advance.

      They say “Some 50 shooting attacks against Israelis have emanated from Jenin.”

      My best guess as to why it doesn’t lead to immediate sanctions and isolation is because some governments think the above is true.
