On 3 July 2023, the Israeli military conducted a major assault on the Jenin refugee camp in the West Bank . The Israeli government stated that the goal of the operation, named Operation Home and Garden , was to target militants within the camp.[ 8]
The attack began in the early hours of 3 July and resulted in the deaths of at least 12 Palestinians, including at least 9 militants,[ 4] and injuries to 100 others.[ 3] [ 9] The military emphasized that the operation is "one in a series", limited to the refugee camp area in Jenin.[ 10] Up to 500 Palestinian families had to leave their homes due to the Israeli assault.[ 11]
The assault was the largest incursion and deployment of aerial force against militants in the West Bank in 20 years, since fighting during the Second Intifada .[ 9] [ 12] [ 13] Israeli military and political echelons expressed differing views about the scale and intent of the operation.[ 14] [ 10]
