West Bank: Nablus big turban toes up, 2 Paleos tied up, 90 Tulkarem homes to be razed
IDF to raze some 90 homes in refugee camps near Tulkarm in 1st large-scale demolition in the area
[IsraelTimes] The Israeli military is set to demolish approximately 90 homes in the Tulkarm and Nur Shams refugee camps near the city of Tulkarm in the northern West Bank.

According to a notice delivered by the IDF to Palestinian residents, the demolitions are being carried out for “clear security needs.”

This marks the first significant wave of home demolitions in the area as part of the ongoing IDF counter-terror operation in Tulkarm, which has been underway for three months. According to Palestinian media reports, some 25,000 people have been displaced from their homes in the two camps amid the operation.

While the military has previously operated in the refugee camps, demolitions on this scale have not occurred until now.

Roughly a month ago, the IDF demolished around 100 homes in the Jenin refugee camp, as part of the ongoing IDF operation there, also citing operational necessity.

IDF says 2 Palestinians arrested in West Bank overnight Saturday for allegedly inciting violence, arson
[IsraelTimes] The IDF says it arrested two Palestinians overnight in the West Bank cities of Nablus and Tubas for allegedly inciting violence and arson on social media amid the recent wave of wildfires across Israel.

According to the military, the suspects posted content encouraging further arson attacks and acts of terror, directly linking their calls to the recent blazes. One of the men, a resident of Nablus, allegedly voiced support for the killing of Jews. The other, from Tubas, reportedly praised Hamas and called for continued violence and arson.

IDF says troops killed head of terror network in Nablus area Friday
[IsraelTimes] The IDF says one of the leaders of a terror network in the Nablus area of the northern West Bank was killed by troops earlier today.

Commandos of the Duvdevan unit operated in the Balata camp, near Nablus, following intelligence provided by the Shin Bet on the whereabouts of Omar Mustafa Abu Lail, the prominent terror operative.

During attempts to arrest Abu Lail, the IDF says he was shot and killed. The military says the soldiers also located a handgun in the operative’s vehicle. A second suspect was detained in the area.

According to the IDF and Shin Bet, Abu Lail, 39, was involved in several shooting attacks on troops in the Nablus area, along with transferring weapons to other operatives in Nablus and Jenin, and providing shelter for wanted Palestinians.

The Palestinian Authority health ministry says it was notified by Israeli authorities of Abu Lail’s death, indicating his body is being held by the IDF.
