Jeninin in the West Bank has become an epicenter of conflict in recent weeks between Israel and Palestinians, imperiling some economic gains for Palestinians
JENIN, West Bank—Two decades after Israel invaded a sprawling refugee camp there with tanks and helicopters and flattened homes in response to the second Intifada, the area is re-emerging as a stronghold of Palestinian militancy.
Four of the assailants who killed 19 Israelis in terrorist attacks since March were from the Jenin region, in the far north reaches of the West Bank, which Israel has occupied since 1967. The Israeli military has responded by conducting deadly raids into the city, surrounding villages and the adjacent refugee camp, which is under nominal Palestinian Authority control, to arrest people they say helped carry out those attacks.
