Operation Iron Wall is the name of a major raid by the Israel Defence Forces into Jenin in the Israeli-occupied West Bank. Launched on 21 January 2025, the military operation involved drones, helicopter air support, the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency), Duvdevan, Egoz, other special forces and engineering forces from Battalion 90.
Show of force
Defence Minister Israel Katz said Operation Iron Wall was a show of force to deter Hamas and others from making trouble in the West Bank now that there are ceasefires with Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in Gaza.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said:
- “This is another step toward achieving the goal we have set – strengthening security in Judea and Samaria.
- “We are systematically and resolutely acting against the Iranian axis wherever it extends its reach – in Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, and Judea and Samaria.”[1]
The Iron Wall
Heidi Matthews posted on X:
- Israel has launched "Operation Iron Wall" in the West Bank's Jenin, on Day 2 of Trump's presidency. It is named for Jabotinsky's 1923 essay, "The Iron Wall". Here's an extract: "Zionist colonisation...can proceed and develop only...behind an iron wall."[2]
Genocide in the West Bank
