Shin Bet Says Israel’s ‘Multi-Front’ War Is Now Focused on the West Bank
The head of Israel’s Shin Bet security agency said Thursday that Israel’s “multi-front war” is now focused on the occupied West Bank amid a new Israeli siege on the northern Palestinian city of Jenin.
“We are in a multi-front war, and now it is the turn of Samaria,” said Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar, using the biblical name for the northern West Bank.
Bar made the comments while visiting Israeli troops with Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi, the head of the Israeli military, who said Israeli forces must be ready for “continuous operations in the Jenin refugee camp, to handle pressure and, at the same time, know how to do other things as well.”
