Far-right Israeli minister says Jenin operation will be ‘intense’

Israel's Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich has said the military's ongoing raid in Jenin will "change the security situation" in the occupied West Bank.

The military raid, which has already killed six Palestinians, "will be an intense and ongoing operation," Smotrich said in a post on X.

He said it will target "terror elements and their enablers" to protect Israeli "settlers" and "settlements", which he described as a "security buffer" for Israel.
