Now is the time for us to go work.’”Not long ago, being a Muslim military chaplain was uncharted territory.

Early this morning, Israeli drones fired on a densely populated refugee camp in the West Bank and hundreds of Israeli troops were sent into the area’s narrow streets and alleys. The drone strikes on the Jenin refugee camp were far more limited than the aerial attacks Israel has made on Gaza, but Israel has not used this level of air power against West Bank militants since the second Palestinian uprising against Israeli rule, in the early 2000s. “The camp is a war zone in the full meaning of the word,” Muhammad Sbaghi, a local administrator, said. Tensions have escalated in the area recently, with local Palestinian militias waging a series of attacks against Israelis, and extremist Jewish settlers rampaging through Palestinian villages and setting fire to property. There have been almost daily raids by the Israeli military to arrest Palestinians suspected of armed activity.
