Troops have killed 36 combatants and detained 46 wanted Palestinians during a major military operation in the northern West Bank, the military says.
According to the army, some two dozen weapons have been confiscated, three bomb-making labs have been destroyed, and dozens of explosive devices have been neutralized.
The major anti-terror operation — internally dubbed “Summer Camps” — began August 28 with simultaneous raids on Jenin, Tulkarem and the Far’a camp near Tubas.
Israel says it is attempting to dismantle the Iran-backed Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad terror networks in the three areas of the northern West Bank.
According to the official Palestinian news agency Wafa, 40 Palestinians have been killed across the West Bank since August 28. The number includes three Palestinian terrorists from the Hebron area in the southern West Bank, two of whom carried out twin car bombings for Hamas, and a third who killed three Israeli police officers in a shooting.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
