2024–2025 Palestinian Authority operation in Jenin

On 5 December 2024, the Palestinian Authority (PA) began a large-scale operation in the West Bank city of Jenin against the Jenin Brigades, a local Palestinian militia. The PA called it "Operation Protect the Homeland" and said it was launched in order to "eradicate sedition and chaos" in the West Bank, portraying militants as agents of instability that are indirectly aiding the Israeli far-right, which has sought to weaken the PA. The operation marked the largest and most violent confrontation that the PA has had with West Bank militants, and analysts have referred to the events as "the most fierce" inter-Palestinian fighting since the 2007 Battle of Gaza.
