Israel prepares major West Bank operation following deadly clashes

Israel's military has begun preparations for a large-scale operation in the West Bank, following a violent escalation on Friday that left two Israeli soldiers and four Palestinians dead.

The decision to plan broader operational activities in the territory comes amid heightened security concerns. According to reports, the Israeli defense establishment began coordinating the potential offensive shortly after the fatal clashes took place.

Following the incident, Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich publicly praised local settlers, describing them as "heroes." The planned military actions signal a potential major intensification of security measures across the territory.
