Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat.

"During the operation [in Nablus], suspects threw stones, Molotov cocktails, and explosives at the troops who responded with riot dispersal means," the military said. According to the official Paleostinian WAFA news agency, six Paleostinians were maimed by live fire and more than 130 others were treated for tear gas inhalation during the festivities in Nablus. The IDF said that it had detained another three wanted Paleostinians across the West Bank overnight.
