Israel plans major West Bank operation after deadly clashes
Israel's military is preparing for an extensive campaign in the occupied West Bank after four Palestinians and two Israeli soldiers died in Friday's clashes. The violence began when Israeli settlers entered a restricted area near the Palestinian village of Tell, leading to gunfire. Far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich advocated for demolishing Palestinian villages, and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered new settlement outposts.
