On 28 August 2024, Israel launched a large-scale military operation in the occupied West Bank.

It was Israel's largest military operation in the West Bank in more than 20 years since its Operation Defensive Shield in 2002, and marked a significant escalation of the continual Israeli incursions into the region against Palestinian militants during the ongoing Gaza war. Israel called it "Operation Summer Camps" (Hebrew: מבצע מחנות קיץ), while Palestinian militants labeled their response as the "Horror of the Camps" (Arabic: رعب المخيمات) operation.

Israel said its goal was to stop Palestinian militant activity in the West Bank, whereas Palestinians felt that the operation could be an expansion of the war aimed at their displacement. Israel also said the raids were aimed to thwart Palestinian suicide bombings, following a failed attempt in Tel Aviv.
