IDF troops have killed over 60 Palestinian terror operatives and detained over 210 amid an ongoing major counter-terrorism operation in the northern West Bank launched last month, the military says.
The offensive, dubbed Operation Iron Wall, was launched on January 21 and the military expects it to last several more weeks.
Israeli forces have been operating in the Jenin, Tulkarem, and Tubas areas.
The IDF says that yesterday, troops of the Maglan commando unit killed three gunmen during an exchange of fire in the Nur Shams camp near Tulkarem. One soldier was moderately wounded in the incident.
The military has acknowledged mistakenly killing several civilians during the operation, including a toddler and a pregnant woman.
