It's an Israeli center left outlet with high factual reporting.

https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/ynetnews/

This article quotes Tulkarm governor Abdullah Kamil, Jenin mayor Mohammed Jerar, governor of Tubas, and the IDF. That's three Palestinians and one Israeli. Seems sufficiently balanced.

Ynetnews even published an opinion piece that's very critical of this very operation.

This approach carries far-reaching consequences beyond its immediate impact on civilians. It will erode Israel’s international legitimacy, prevent Palestinian workers from entering Israel, and weaken the Palestinian Authority in three key ways: economically, politically and by undermining its security forces. If the current trajectory of collective punishment — driven largely by political motives — continues, Israel could face a third intifada within months. Unlike the second intifada, characterized by suicide bombers, the next wave of violence could involve sophisticated explosive devices within Israel’s borders and on West Bank roads. Methods of bomb placement and concealment would become increasingly advanced and deadly.

(…)Experience shows that such pressure does not deter terrorists; rather, it strengthens their resolve. (…)

Netanyahu and his inexperienced defense minister should reconsider their counterinsurgency strategy in the West Bank. The current approach — erecting countless roadblocks that do little to enhance security but significantly fuel resentment, deploying tanks unnecessarily in refugee camp operations to project strength (not against Palestinians, but to appease Jewish settlers demanding ever-harsher measures) — is deeply flawed..

Ignorance of internal Israeli politics and media landscape is notoriously widespread among self styled supporters of Palestinians.
