West Bank terrorist groups are a persistent and evolving security challenge for Israel and the Palestinian Authority. These groups’ numbers, arsenals, and capabilities have expanded dramatically since an initial surge of terrorist activity in June 2021.

The Israeli military said on Tuesday it had launched an operation in the occupied West Bank's Jenin that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said aimed to "eradicate terrorism" in the area.

The Israel Air Force and Shin Bet (National Security Agency) killed over ten terrorists over the past week during two airstrikes that took place in Jenin, located in the West Bank, Israel's military announced on Thursday. The military added that Israel's security forces also operated in the West Bank overnight between Wednesday and Thursday.
