Israeli forces search house to house in West Bank city, arrest 100s 11
[GEO.TV] Israeli forces searched houses in the Nour al-Shams refugee camp in the occupied West Bank city of Tulkarm on Thursday, detaining hundreds of people suspected of militant activities, the military said.
Hundreds? Goodness, those Israelis are efficient!
Tulkarm, location of one of the main crossing points between the West Bank and Israel, has seen repeated raids by security forces since the start of war on October 7

According to residents, Israeli forces detained at least 120 people and demolished three houses, including one belonging to a member of the Tulkarm Brigades, an armed militant group linked to the Palestinian faction Fatah.
"Dude! That was our Clubhouse!"
"IDF forces continue to operate, alongside other Israeli security forces, in a broad divisional operation to suppress terrorism in the Nour al-Shams refugee camp in Menashe," the military said in a statement.

The Tulkarm Brigades said fighters were exchanging fire with the Israeli forces.

The military said the operation had been under way for more than 30 hours and said hundreds of individuals had been detained for questioning. Troops destroyed militant infrastructure and identified numerous weapons, it said.

The West Bank had already experienced the highest levels of unrest in decades during the 18 months preceding the Oct. 7 attack on Israel by Hamas gunmen but confrontations have risen sharply as Israeli forces have launched an invasion of Gaza.

Hundreds of Palestinians have been killed in clashes with Israeli soldiers and settlers over the past weeks and security forces have carried out thousands of arrests, with repeated confrontations between troops and Palestinian protesters.

IDF says troops locate UNRWA daycare booby-trapped by local terrorists in West Bank

[IsraelTimes] IDF troops operating in the West Bank’s Nur Shams refugee camp located a UNRWA daycare center that was booby-trapped by local terror operatives.

The IDF says it has wrapped up a 40-hour-long raid in the camp near Tulkarem, during which troops questioned hundreds of suspects and arrested 11 of them.
Ah. That makes much more sense. Even the IDF are not so fabulous as to be able to arrest hundreds in only a few hours.
It says troops also seized many weapons and destroyed hundreds of explosive devices, including those planted in the UNRWA building.

Two soldiers were wounded, one lightly and one moderately, during the raid as a result of an explosive device hurled at them.



In another raid today, in the northern West Bank town of Sir, close to Jenin, a soldier was seriously wounded by an explosive device, the IDF adds.
