The IDF says it has wrapped up its brigade-level counter-terrorism operation in the West Bank’s Nur Shams refugee camp, close to Tulkarem.
The raid was launched late last night, and began with a deadly airstrike on two Palestinians who were allegedly hurling explosive devices at troops.
The IDF releases footage showing the airstrike in Nur Shams.
The IDF says troops detained three wanted Palestinians and uncovered explosive devices hidden under the roads in the camp during the operation.
Troops killed two more gunmen in Nur Shams amid a gun battle, and seized an assault rifle from one, the IDF says.
In a separate operation in Ramallah, the IDF says troops opened fire at suspects hurling stones, explosive devices, and launching fireworks.
Palestinian health officials say a 16-year-old boy was killed.
Since October 7, the IDF says troops have arrested some 3,600 wanted Palestinians across the West Bank, including more than 1,600 affiliated with Hamas.
