Shehab Wire reported that Hassan Khater, director of the International Jerusalem Center, characterized Israel's announced large-scale military operation in Shufat refugee camp and Anata town northeast of occupied Jerusalem as a complete isolation of the city. The operation, Khater said, represents a deliberate targeting of Palestinian refugee camps that he identified as centers of resistance activity—installations the Israeli occupation views with particular concern.
Khater described the military action as part of a broader campaign of aggression across the West Bank. The operation signals an intensification of Israeli pressure on population centers in and around Jerusalem, according to his analysis shared with the news agency.
