Operation Breakwater, also called Operation Break the Wave, was an operation conducted by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). Triggered by terrorism within Israel,[1] the main purpose was to reduce crime and violence in the West Bank.[2]
The IDF conducted several raids and participated in some fire exchanges, in which they were victorious. Around 149 Palestinians died during the operation, and 2,000 were arrested.[3][4][5]
In the end of the operation, it was seen as a success.[6][7]
