Israeli forces withdraw after deadly attack on three refugee camps in the occupied West Bank
ISRAELI forces appear to have withdrawn from three refugee camps in the occupied West Bank.
The apparent withdrawal follows a brutal operation lasting more than a week that left dozens of Palestinians dead and a trail of destruction.
Overnight, Israeli armoured personnel carriers were seen leaving the Jenin refugee camp from a checkpoint set up on one of the main roads, and reporters inside the camp saw no evidence of any remaining troops inside as dawn broke early this morning.
