America's closest ally in the Mideast is on the move.
The Israeli government launched the fiercest air attack on the West Bank in two decades Monday. Multiple outlets reported airstrikes against embedded Palestinian fighters in the city of Jenin.
The incursion has included unmanned combat aerial vehicles and hundreds of troops.
The Israeli military said the operation began shortly after 1 a.m. with drone attacks from the air on what it called “terrorist infrastructure” in the Jenin area, followed by hundreds of ground forces moving in. Military officials said the operation focused on militant targets in the densely populated Jenin refugee camp, an area less than a quarter of a square mile abutting the city, with about 17,000 residents.
Israel estimates that there are hundreds of armed Palestinians in the Jenin area, which has recently been the focus of attacks against Israelis and deadly Israeli Army arrest raids.
Long a symbol of Palestinian militancy and a haven for armed groups opposing Israel's occupation of the West Bank, Jenin is a stronghold of the Iran-backed Islamic Jihad group and Hamas, the Islamic militant group that controls the Palestinian territory of Gaza. Israeli military officials say more than 50 shooting attacks have been carried out from the Jenin area against Israeli targets in the past six months.
Army arrest raids have led to increasingly fierce exchanges of fire between the troops and the armed Palestinians, making it harder for Israeli forces to go in and out of Jenin and adding to the impetus for Monday's incursion.

About long overdue
Good for Israel to not sit around and wait for the U.S. under this administration – Bibi is wise enough to know that, I’m sure. Praying for their success to rid themselves of this pestilence.
Correction! There is no such people as Palestinians. They are Arab terrorists who believe that if they kill all the Jews, men, women and children through any means possible, they will occupy the ancient homeland of the Jews, Israel. The PLO and Hamas charter forbids peace with Israel and their objectives are supported by the staunch antisemites of the UN who use the excuse that all will be solved by an unrealistic “ two-state solution.” Peace will not be possible until the leaders of the Hamas and of the PLO are removed from power and the two terrorist organizations are disbanded. Anyone who states otherwise doesn’t live in the real world, especially Biden and his cartel.
Take no prisoners.
Watch and you will seee the cancer of this Nations Liberal/Leftist/Progressivie/Democrots push for riots from the useful idiots that have festered in Israel like they have here. Watch Xi Obiden sic the Anti-Semite Racist Squat Congress Group on them. .
Drive the muslims out of Gaza and the west bank. Problem solved.
