"The IDF's military operation in Nablus is a direct escalation of the ongoing friction and economic pressure exerted by Israel on the West Bank, as evidenced by the recent severing of financial ties by Israeli banks with Palestinian institutions. Both events represent intensifying Israeli measures against Palestinian entities in the occupied territories."
"The US sanctions on Hamas financing networks and the IDF's counterterrorism operation in Nablus are parallel efforts targeting the same militant group (Hamas) through different means (economic/legal vs. military) within the broader context of the conflict."
