The Palestinian Authority has launched its largest and most heavily armed operation in its three decades to thwart a growing West Bank insurgency.

It’s trying to prove it can manage security in the limited areas of the West Bank it controls as it seeks to also govern a postwar Gaza Strip .

The authority launched Operation Protect the Homeland this month to retake control of Jenin camp.

The security forces are among the last threads holding together the Oslo accords, signed in the 1990s .

Israel has expanded and entrenched its control of the West Bank , eroding the authority’s jurisdiction.

The last time Palestinian factions faced off in the streets was 2007 , when Hamas ousted the authority in Gaza and set up its own government.
