Late yesterday, an Israeli army spokesman said troops 'have started withdrawing from Jenin camp' after a major two-day operation.
ISRAEL CARRIED OUT air strikes on the Gaza Strip today in response to rocket fire, as the military began withdrawing forces from Jenin in the occupied West Bank after a major two-day operation in the area.
The large-scale Israeli army assault on Jenin camp had so far killed 12 Palestinians, the Palestinian health ministry said. During the raid, the army said it had uncovered militant hideouts, arms depots and an underground shaft used to store explosives. Medical charity Doctors Without Borders also condemned Israeli forces for firing tear gas inside Khalil Suleiman hospital in Jenin, calling it “unacceptable”.
Shops in Jenin were shuttered amid a general strike and the near-empty streets littered with debris and burned roadblocks. The northern West Bank has seen a recent spate of attacks on Israelis as well as Jewish settler violence targeting Palestinians.
