US bureau chief Jacob Magid on a new batch of US sanctions against extremist settlers, and National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby’s optimism; also a big oops! in Haifa

The Israeli military has launched a large-scale counterterrorism operation in the wake of last week’s attempted suicide bombing in Tel Aviv that is expected to last at least several days, military sources said yesterday. At the same time, top Hamas official Khaled Mashal in Turkey yesterday called for a resumption of suicide bombings
The US issued its sixth batch of sanctions targeting Israeli settler violence in the West Bank, blacklisting a group that provides volunteer guards for illegal outposts and a civilian security guard for a flashpoint settlement who has allegedly engaged in attacks against Palestinians. Magid gives nuance to who was — and what wasn’t — including in this latest batch of sanctions.
