#israel #palestine - Israel launches large-scale West Bank raid: CNN

28 August 2024

Israel’s military carried out raids and airstrikes in multiple parts of the occupied West Bank, killing at least nine Palestinians in an offensive Israel says is its most expansive in years. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed it had launched a large counter-terror operation overnight with the Israel Security Agency (ISA) in the areas of Jenin and Tulkarem in the north of the West Bank. #CNN #News

AIPAC was founded in 1954 by Isaiah L. Kenen, a lobbyist for the Israeli government, partly to counter negative international reactions to Israel's Qibya massacre of Palestinian villagers that year. AIPAC only became a powerful organization during its peak influence in the 1980s.
In turn, Israel provides a strategic American foothold in the region as well as intelligence and advanced technological partnerships in both the civilian and military worlds. During the Cold War, Israel was a vital counterweight to Soviet influence in the region.
