Israel launched a raid on the Palestinian West Bank hours after President Donald Trump took office. Here's why it's happening now.

The West Bank is the new battleground in Israel’s post-Oct. 7 war. Jenin refugee camp is the front line. On Sunday, Israeli forces razed 23 buildings in Jenin, cutting a swath through the camp with simultaneous explosions that were heard across much of the northern West Bank.

Israel’s military said this week that its campaign targeting militants, which local Palestinians have called one of the most destructive in recent memory, was moving eastward.
