Israeli forces have withdrawn from three refugee camps in the occupied West Bank after a more-than weeklong military operation that resulted in dozens of casualties and widespread destruction. The withdrawal from the Jenin refugee camp was observed early Friday morning, with no remaining troops seen inside the camp. The military operation targeted militants in Jenin, Tulkarem, and the Al-Faraa refugee camps to address recent sophisticated and deadly attacks against Israeli civilians.
While troops have been pulled out of the Tulkarem camp and had previously left Al-Faraa, the Israeli military indicated that the operation was ongoing to achieve counterterrorism objectives. The operation, described as the deadliest in the West Bank since the Israel-Hamas war began, involved hundreds of Israeli troops employing aggressive tactics.
