Israel is continuing its military assault across the occupied West Bank, with soldiers storming the Palestinian city of Tulkarm after midnight Monday, just days after Israeli forces withdrew from Tulkarm and Jenin following a brutal incursion that lasted over one week. Israeli troops have also raided other towns and villages across the occupied territory as part of the largest Israeli military operation in the West Bank in about two decades, deploying hundreds of soldiers backed by armored vehicles, bulldozers, fighter jets and drones. Israel has killed dozens of Palestinians since launching the operation on August 28. "The brutality is truly unprecedented," says Palestinian journalist Mariam Barghouti, who adds that in many of the targeted areas, Israel has "bulldozed the overwhelming majority of the civilian infrastructure." Her recent piece for +972 Magazine is titled "Inside the brutal siege of Jenin."
