Director of Jerusalem Research Center at Al-Quds University Ahmed Rafiq Awad: “The generations in the colonialist West have changed, and more than this, the West has begun to pay the price of Israel’s insolence. It has begun to pay its price with its blood. There have been explosions there, there have been immigrants there, its crude oil has reduced, problems have formed for it, and it has begun to take things into account. Therefore, the world has changed… The West has changed against its will. Therefore, the media language, or the members of the press, or the monopoly of the Zionist narrative in the Western media will also change and will disintegrate.”

2023 Operation Home and Garden - an Israeli counter-terror operation in Jenin that lasted from July 3-5, 2023. The operation targeted terror infrastructure in the city, and particularly the Islamic Jihad-affiliated terror group the Jenin Brigade, after 50 terror attacks had originated from the city and 19 terrorists had fled to it since the start of 2023. Israeli soldier David Yehuda Yitzhak, 23, was killed during the operation, while at least 18 Palestinian terrorists were killed and over 300 terror suspects were arrested. During the operation, Israeli forces attacked a terror headquarters located next to a medical clinic and two schools, one of them belonging to UNRWA. Several weapons factories were discovered containing hundreds of explosives and weapons caches. Terrorists opened fire on Israeli forces from within a mosque in the Jenin refugee camp, and after gaining control of the site, the Israeli forces discovered weapons caches including explosives and entrances to underground tunnels in the mosque's basement.
