Transcript
00:00The Palestinian Authority has launched a rare crackdown on militant groups in the West Bank
00:09by deploying security forces to the city of Jenin.
00:13On Saturday, Palestinian security forces raided the Jenin refugee camp, a long-time militant
00:19stronghold.
00:21The operation continued through the weekend and into Monday, killing at least two people,
00:26one fighter and one civilian.
00:29While Israel has regularly raided areas in the West Bank, particularly since the 7 October
00:34Hamas attack, raids by the Palestinian Authority are more unusual.
00:40Such actions are unpopular with the Palestinian public, where many accuse the Palestinian
00:44security forces of collaborating with Israel.
