The IDF says it has wrapped up a 50-hour-long operation in the West Bank’s Nur Shams refugee camp, adjacent to Tulkarem.
Amid the raid, troops killed 14 gunmen in clashes, detained 15 wanted Palestinians, discovered and destroyed dozens of explosives, and captured weapons, according to the military.
Nine soldiers and one Border Police officer were hurt during the clashes. They were listed in good and moderate condition.
Palestinian media initially reported that the commander of a local Palestinian Islamic Jihad wing in Tulkarem was killed amid the raid, although reports now say that Muhammad Jaber, known as Abu Shuja’a, did not actually die. He is purportedly seen in footage at the funerals of other gunmen.
