The IDF and Shin Bet have withdrawn from the city of Tubas after a four-day operation in the West Bank’s eponymous northeastern governorate, according to WAFA, the Palestinian Authority’s official news agency.
According to WAFA, Israeli forces withdrew tonight from the city of Tubas as well as the villages of Aqaba to its north and Tayasir to its east. The forces had already withdrawn last night from the village of Tammun and from the Far’a refugee camp, WAFA says.
During the operation, Israeli forces arrested or carried out field interrogations of about 200 Palestinians, ten of whom remain in Israeli custody, WAFA says, citing Kaman Bani ‘Awda, the Palestinian Prisoners Club NGO director in Tubas.
Nidal ‘Awda, regional chief of ambulance services, is cited as saying 204 people required medical treatment, including 69 people who had to be taken to a hospital, following assaults by Israeli troops.
The IDF and Shin Bet said Wednesday that they had commenced a large-scale counter-terror operation in the area the night before.
This evening, the IDF said that as part of the operation, troops searched hundreds of buildings in Tammun and the al-Faraa camp, and detained some 10 “terrorists,” including arms dealers and operatives who had advanced attacks on troops. Dozens more suspects were taken in for questioning, the military says.
The army said that troops “continue to operate proactively to prevent the establishment of terror infrastructure in the area and to thwart any threat to the citizens of the State of Israel.”
