The IDF, in collaboration with Shin Bet, entered Jenin accompanied by armed helicopters and drones, KAN News reported.
The Palestinian Health Ministry has declared three dead as a result of IDF fire in the Jenin refugee camp, according to Israeli media.
There were also casualties from IDF fire in the Al-Far’a refugee camp in the city of Tubas, where two more terrorists were killed, Walla reported. IDF bulldozers have begun demolishing infrastructure in Tulkarm due to concerns that Hamas operatives have planted explosive devices there.
IDF soldiers reportedly operated at Ibn Sinai Hospital, N12 later reported, citing Palestinian reports, which also stated that IDF forces are operating in the Farah camp in the Jordan Valley.
Drone strike killed five on Monday
Previously in Tulkarm, the IDF killed five in a drone strike on a terror operations room in the Nur al-Shams refugee camp on Monday.
According to KAN News, one of those killed was a terrorist released in the latest hostage deal in November.
Throughout a 14-hour operation in Tulkarm in late August, three terrorists were killed by the Israeli air force, and the IDF destroyed laboratories producing explosives.
Concurrently, Duvdevan unit soldiers destroyed an apartment of a wanted individual while arresting another. The IDF also destroyed explosives planted along the side of the road.
This is a developing story.
