Palestinian Authority Cracks Down on Militants in West Bank

The Palestinian Authority has launched a rare and lethal operation against Iran-backed militants in the city of Jenin, West Bank, in an effort to foil an imminent car-bombing and other attacks. The operation, which began on December 5, resulted in the deaths of at least three Palestinians, including two gunmen, and injured several PA security personnel. The Palestinian government says it was necessary to restore order and stability in the city, which has been gripped by lawlessness and militant activity. The move is seen as a reengagement with Israel, following President Trump’s departure from office.
