Israeli army withdraws from West Bank city of Jenin and its refugee camp after 10-day operation Israeli troops left the occupied West Bank city of Jenin and its refugee camp on Friday after a more than weeklong operation that has claimed dozens of Palestinian lives. As Israeli tanks drove out of the city, civilians were seen returning to their homes. The refugee camp is seen by Israel as a bastion for Palestinian armed groups, and its latest military operation in the territory is considered to be the deadliest since the start of its war against Hamas.
