| The Israeli army has withdrawn most of its forces from the northern West Bank city of Nablus, Palestinians said on Tuesday, three days after a raid it launched to arrest suspected militants. The Israeli army declined to comment on the report. A spokeswoman said she was unable to give any details on the status of troops in the area. Local Palestinian residents and Israel Radio said that the Israeli army began pulling troops out of Nablus late on Monday night and that most of the soldiers had left the city by Tuesday morning. |
