The IDF and Border Police operated in the West Bank city of Tulkarm for over 40 hours, according to reports from Israeli media on Saturday.
Nine soldiers have reportedly sustained lightly to moderate wounds in clashes with terrorists over the course of the operation. All the soldiers have since been evacuated from the area to receive medical treatment at a hospital.
The Israeli security personnel’s activities took place in Tulkarm’s Noor al-Shams neighborhood.
IDF claims to have eliminated ten terrorists in operation
The IDF and Border Police also reportedly eliminated ten terrorists in confrontations, arrested eight wanted individuals, and discovered explosives, M16 guns, and axes while conducting searches of buildings.
The Palestinian Health Ministry claimed that in the clashes, a 15-year-old boy was killed. The ministry added that seven individuals were moderately wounded, four were lightly wounded, and two were transferred to be treated at the Al-Israa hospital.
The Palestinian report has not yet been corroborated or dismissed by the IDF.
