The IDF has launched a large-scale counterterrorism operation in the northern West Bank that is expected to last several days, military sources say.
The operation is mostly focused on the Tulkarem area, but troops are also carrying out activities in Jenin and the Far’a camp near Tubas.
At least 10 Palestinians have been reported killed so far in clashes and IDF drone strikes.
Several wanted Palestinians have also been detained amid the operation, according to the military.
