Israeli Forces Conclude Military Operations in Tubas and Aqaba

Tubas: Israeli forces withdrew late last night from the city of Tubas and the town of Aqaba after two days of aggression and siege. Over the past two days, Israeli soldiers had turned several homes into military posts after forcing their residents to leave in both Tubas and Aqaba. According to Palestine News and Information Agency - WAFA, the occupation forces also carried out a large-scale raid on citizens' homes, detaining several residents and subjecting them to field interrogations. Meanwhile, Israeli warplanes also fired intermittently over the Tubas governorate throughout the operation. Occupation vehicles and infantry were heavily deployed in the neighborhoods of Tubas and Aqaba throughout the incursion, coinciding with the imposition of a curfew and the closure of entrances with earth mounds. The occupation forces had re-invaded Tubas and Aqaba at dawn on Monday, a day after withdrawing following a four-day offensive that lasted from dawn on Wednesday until Saturday evening.
