Israeli forces have begun a large-scale operation in and around Tubas in the occupied West Bank, involving the IDF, Shin Bet, and Border Guard units. Tubas Governor Ahmed al-Assad said troops, backed by a helicopter, surrounded the city, seized rooftops, and forced residents from their homes. Around 30 families were displaced, and medical teams were blocked from reaching patients.
Authorities say the attacks mark a renewed effort to impose new control measures near the Jordan Valley. Violence in the West Bank has escalated since October 7, 2023, with more than 1,000 Palestinians killed by Israeli soldiers and settlers, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health
