IDF forces have now (Tuesday) completed the operational activity to counter terrorism in the Tulkarm refugee camp in the Menashe region, in which forces from the Haruv Unit, the Duchifat Battalion, the Duvdevan Reserve Unit, Engineering, the Shin Bet, and the Special Forces participated under the command of the Kfir Brigade. According to the IDF spokesman, the operation lasted about 15 hours, during which the forces uncovered explosives, eliminated terrorists, interrogated suspects, and searched many buildings.

Among other things, engineering forces operating in the camp uncovered dozens of ready-to-use explosives, which were planted under and on the side of the roads to attack IDF forces. During the operation, the fighters hit terrorists armed with weapons and explosives.

In addition, an IDF aircraft under the direction of the Shin Bet attacked from the air an armed terrorist squad that fired and dropped charges on our forces and endangered them, when terrorists were eliminated from the attack. So far, 7 terrorists are known to have been eliminated. At the same time, the MGB force arrest based on accurate intelligence information of a senior Shin Bet in the "Tulkarm" battalion after he tried to escape from the camp under the cover of an ambulance.

Also, after searches, forces of the Sayeret Haruv located and destroyed a cargo laboratory in which dozens of ready-to-use charges were found.
