Israel’s army chief said ‘plans are ready’ to attack the occupied West Bank city of Jenin

Israel’s army chief said ‘plans are ready’ for his forces to attack the occupied West Bank city of Jenin, the home town of six Palestinian men who broke out of an Israeli prison.

The breakout from Gilboa Prison by six Palestinian men earlier this month sparked jubilation from many Palestinians and dismay from Israeli officials.

“The plans are ready,” Kochavi told Tel Aviv-based broadcaster Channel 12. “If the situation escalates, we will launch an operation whenever we need to.”
