Israeli troops raid Tulkarem in West Bank
The Israeli army has raided at dawn the northern West Bank town of Tulkarm and its refugee camp, Palestinian security sources said. A column of 50 tanks, troop transport trucks and jeeps, carrying several hundred soldiers, poured into the camp and town, the sources said. Israeli military radio said the operation, codenamed "pulling out the roots", was aimed at netting militants from the hardline Hamas and Islamic Jihad groups, which carried out a string of suicide bombings last week.
