The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) withdrew on Thursday afternoon from Tulkarem City and its refugee camp following a large-scale campaign that lasted for over 15 hours and resulted in the death of three Palestinian young men.

According to medical and local sources, ambulance crews were able to evacuate two wounded citizens from Tulkarem refugee camp after the withdrawal of Israeli forces.

The Red Crescent said that its paramedics in Tulkarem camp provided medical assistance for two civilians who suffered shrapnel wounds from an Israeli strike, including a five-year-old child, adding that another citizen was also injured after an IOF jeep rammed into him.

Last night, a large number of Israeli troops stormed Tulkarem City and its refugee camp, spread in their streets and encircled two hospitals, amid drone overflights.

Media sources reported that violent clashes broke out between local youths and Israeli forces in Tulkarem and its refugee camp.

Resistance fighters also clashed with soldiers and detonated explosive devices at their vehicles during the IOF campaign in Tulkarem.

Later in the morning, an Israeli drone bombed a house and a group of citizens in Tulkarem camp, killing three young men. There was no information about wounded citizens in the strike.

Israeli bulldozers and armored vehicles reportedly wreaked havoc on public and private property during the campaign, while soldiers fired projectiles at some homes.
