The IDF says it has killed over 50 Palestinian terror operatives in the northern West Bank since launching a major counter-terrorism offensive nearly two weeks ago.
Over 35 gunmen were killed by troops during operations in Jenin, Tulkarem, and the Tamun area, while another 15 were killed in drone strikes, the military says.
More than 100 wanted Palestinians have been detained.
The IDF says troops have also seized some 40 weapons and neutralized over 80 explosive devices amid the operation.
The offensive, dubbed Operation Iron Wall, was launched on January 21, and the military expects it to last several more weeks.
