Overview
- Officials confirmed late Thursday that Israeli forces pulled out of the Qalandiya refugee camp and neighbouring Kafr Aqab after a nearly two-day operation that local authorities say left about 51 Palestinians wounded.
- Local and medical groups reported that more than 60 people were detained or subjected to field interrogations and that several homes and commercial buildings were seized and used as makeshift detention or interrogation sites.
- The Palestine Red Crescent Society said 35 people were hospitalised, ambulances faced access blocks, medics were among the injured, and journalists were pushed back or targeted with stun grenades during the raid.
- The Israeli military said the operation targeted armed individuals, weapons trafficking and hostile infrastructure and deployed dozens of vehicles, bulldozers and drones for searches and seizures.
- The raid fits into a broader pattern documented by rights groups and a UN inquiry of increased West Bank military and settler attacks, which rights monitors say is driving displacement, blocking aid access and raising international concern.
