Despite Palestinian media reporting that Israeli forces have withdrawn from Jenin, the IDF says that “troops are continuing with the operation until its objectives are achieved.”
So far, the IDF says that in the past 10 days, it has killed 14 Palestinian gunmen in Jenin, among them the commander of Hamas in the city, and detained more than 30 wanted Palestinians.
Four drone strikes have been carried out in Jenin amid the operation, and the IDF says over 30 explosive devices planted under roads in the city were also neutralized.
