"Hundreds of Israeli soldiers supported by armoured vehicles have conducted raids in the Palestinian town of Tubas near Nablus in the biggest such military deployment by Israeli forces in the occupied West Bank since the ceasefire came into effect in Gaza last month. Palestinian media reported that a curfew was imposed on Tuesday night on Tubas and some neighbouring communities, roads were closed by earthen barriers and families forced from their homes to allow Israeli forces to use the buildings."
"If you do not change this, we will act as we did in Jenin and Tulkarm, the leaflets warned, referring to two northern cities in the West Bank targeted by big military assaults by Israeli forces earlier this year that caused widespread damage and displaced tens of thousands of people. In Gaza, there were further reports of violence overnight, including bombardment near the central town of al-Bureij."
Israeli forces carried out a large-scale raid in Tubas near Nablus, deploying hundreds of soldiers and armoured vehicles in the biggest West Bank operation since the Gaza ceasefire. Authorities imposed a curfew on Tubas and neighbouring communities, sealed roads with earthen barriers, and evacuated families so troops could use buildings. The military and internal security service described the action as a broad counter-terrorism operation expected to continue for several days. Leaflets warned that the area had become a haven for terrorism and threatened actions similar to earlier assaults on Jenin and Tulkarm. Separately, Israeli strikes and reported clashes occurred in Gaza, and Hamas handed over the remains of an Israeli hostage killed in the October 2023 raid.
