Yesterday, Israel launched its most intense military operation in West Bank in the last 20 years, killing at least 10 people and injuring about 100 others.
Israel’s large-scale military raid into the Jenin refugee camp in the occupied West Bank had undeniable similarities with the second Palestinian uprising of the early 2000s - a period that claimed thousands of lives.
The region had not seen such a sustained cycle of violence since the second uprising, which lasted about five years.
More recent periods of bloodshed have not lasted this long or involved such a strong show of force by the military.
The tactics seen yesterday, with air strikes, armored bulldozers and a brigade of troops, were a mainstay of the second uprising.
This has given rise to the speculations about the rise of the third intifada in Palestine.
