Israel's defense minister said on Wednesday forces were applying lessons learned in Gaza as a major operation continued in Jenin

In other words, the destruction of civilian infrastructure and disruption of essential services. As the UN is already warning.

"OCHA warns that the ongoing operation by Israeli forces in Jenin is putting people’s safety and welfare at risk, while destroying infrastructure as basic as roads, electricity and water pipes. Ten people have reportedly been killed, with dozens more injured. OCHA warns that since yesterday, the Jenin Government Hospital has been disconnected from the water grid and electricity network."

"We will not allow the arms of the Iranian regime and radical Sunni Islam to endanger the lives of (Israeli) settlers (in the West Bank) and establish a terrorist front east of the state of Israel," he said in a statement.

Israeli colonists living on stolen Palestinian land, not "settlers". The colonists are the terrorists. Over 1,800 attacks on Palestinians since Oct 7th. Averaging 4 a day.

Terrorist colonisers being armed and encouraged to carry out attacks on Palestinian civilians by Israel's Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir. All the while Israel is refusing to investigate or hold to account those carrying out terrorist attacks.

So be aware that when you hear the word "settler" being used is in fact referring to colonists and terrorists.

Trump threatens tariffs on Gaza and West Bank.

Oh...hold on ....Israel has a complete blockade on these already.

The lesson the IDF can learn is that conduct in war has consequences.

Cant use starvation as a weapon of war, for example.

Another lesson is that the Israeli PM and Defence Minister ARE WANTED FOR WAR CRIMES.
