Israeli tanks have moved into the occupied West Bank for the first time since 2002, shortly after the defence minister said troops will remain “for the coming year” in parts of the Palestinian territory.

Associated Press journalists saw a handful of tanks move on Sunday into Jenin, long a bastion of armed struggle against Israel.
