Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says the major IDF operation in the West Bank city of Jenin is “another step in achieving the goal we set, strengthening security in Judea and Samaria.”

The operation, dubbed “Iron Wall,” is expected to last several days.

“We are operating in a systematic and decisive way against the Iranian axis wherever it sends its arms, in Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, and Judea and Samaria,” Netanyahu says in a statement released by his office.
