Israeli forces leave Tubas, causing injuries, damage
(MENAFN) Israeli forces pulled out of the Tubas governorate in the northern occupied West Bank on Saturday evening, ending several days of intensive military operations that left behind injuries, arrests, and significant destruction.
According to general reports citing local officials, Governor Ahmed Al-Asaad confirmed that the army “withdrew from the city of Tubas, its towns, and the Al-Fara’a refugee camp” after a large-scale campaign that began on Wednesday and extended across nearby villages. He stated that troops had vacated residential buildings they had previously converted into makeshift military posts and that teams were now evaluating the full extent of the damage.
Local accounts described severe destruction to public infrastructure, including bulldozed entry roads and damage to vital utilities such as the water network in the town of Tammoun. Al-Asaad also noted that forces raided approximately 350 homes, leaving many of them vandalized.
Reports indicate that more than 200 Palestinians were detained during the operation, with most later released, while roughly 70 remain in custody. Over 150 people were injured, many reportedly as a result of physical assaults.
Earlier in the day, Israeli units had already begun withdrawing from Tammoun and the Al-Fara’a refugee camp south of Tubas. Despite the pullout, the military announced plans to continue operations elsewhere in the northern West Bank, including intentions to demolish structures in Jenin for “necessary operational needs.”
Since the start of the Gaza war in October 2023, the situation in the West Bank has sharply deteriorated. More than 1,085 Palestinians have been killed, over 10,700 injured, and more than 20,500 arrested in actions by Israeli forces and settlers, according to general reporting.
A ruling last July by the International Court of Justice concluded that Israel’s ongoing presence in Palestinian territory constitutes an illegal occupation and called for the removal of all settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
