The Israeli army launched a large-scale raid in the northern West Bank early Sunday amid tension in the occupied territory.
Israeli military vehicles and two bulldozers pushed into the town of Tammun, southeast of Tubas city, and Al-Far’a refugee camp and imposed a curfew in the two areas.
According to witnesses, Israeli soldiers forced families out of their homes in Al-Far’a camp and turned the buildings into military outposts.
The Palestinian official news agency Wafa confirmed the Israeli raid in the two areas. The Palestinian Red Crescent Society, for its part, accused Israeli forces of preventing its medics from evacuating a sick Palestinian in Al-Far’a camp.
Local authorities in Tubas announced a suspension of school classes in Tammun and Al-Far’a camp following the Israeli raid.
The new raid came days after 10 Palestinians were killed on Thursday by an Israeli airstrike in Tammun.
On January 21, the Israeli army launched a military assault on Jenin city and its refugee camp, killing at least 24 Palestinians.
The offensive was later expanded to include the city of Tulkarm, where three Palestinians were killed.
