The Palestinian Authority has reached an agreement with the Jenin Battalion, ending a month-long standoff in the northern West Bank city and camp. The PA conducted a counterterrorism operation targeting the armed group, which is affiliated with Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad. The armed groups have gained prominence in the area, with the PA losing control. The deal requires specific members of the Jenin Battalion to hand over their weapons and allows the PA to operate freely in the refugee camp.
