STORYLINE:
Israeli troops have pulled out of the Tulkarem refugee camp in the occupied West Bank, leaving behind a trail of destruction after a prolonged raid targeting Palestinian militants.
The last Israeli army vehicles withdrew from the camp and the surrounding town of Tulkarem on Thursday a day after Israeli troops said they dismantled an explosives lab, a weapons manufacturing workshop and an explosives-rigged vehicle.
After launching the raid in the northern West Bank on Wednesday, the military said an airstrike supporting troops in the nearby town of Tubas killed five Palestinian militants.
The Palestinian Red Crescent also reported that three Palestinians were killed in a separate Israeli strike on a car outside Tulkarem.
Bulldozers were seen clearing away earth and rubble churned up by Israeli vehicles searching for improvised explosive devices.
Since the Hamas-led Oct. 7 attack killed around 1,200 people in Israel, setting off the Israel-Hamas war, Israel has braced for increased attacks from the West Bank, where roughly three million Palestinians live under Israeli military occupation.
The Israeli military has stepped up raids there in an attempt to dismantle militant groups.
Since October, Israeli forces have killed 703 Palestinians in the West Bank, including 159 minors, the Ramallah-based Palestinian Health Ministry reported on Thursday, many of them in clashes with Israeli troops.
