US Largely Silent On Israel’s West Bank Assault As Ally Jordan Gets Rattled

The US said it was seeking clarity on Israel’s objectives after its ally launched an offensive in the occupied West Bank which Palestinian and Israeli media said was the largest such attack since the Second Intifada.

“We are in touch with Israeli officials to learn more about the operation,” a national security council spokesperson told Middle East Eye.

“The United States supports Israel’s right to defend itself against threats to its security. At the same time, they must do so in a way that limits civilian casualties and damage to civilian infrastructure”.

Israeli troops landed in parts of the northern West Bank in military helicopters and large convoys of armoured vehicles, attacking three cities – Jenin, Tulkarm and Tubas.

Despite the breadth and magnitude of the offensive mirroring Israeli military operations during the Palestinian uprising of the early 2000s, the Biden administration has so far held off on publicly addressing the matter, outside of responding to journalists.

”The number of military vehicles storming Jenin is very large,” Shatha Sabagh, a Jenin camp resident, told MEE.

“The three main hospitals are besieged and all the streets leading to the city are closed with dirt barriers. We have not witnessed an incursion this extensive for a long time, and it seems that it will continue for several days.”
