The Israeli occupation army on Friday declared an end to the military operation in el-Ein refugee camp in Nablus after three consecutive days of attack.

The Israeli occupation army reported that they kidnapped 49 Palestinians, claiming each were on Israel’s so-called “wanted list.”

Local residents reported that military vehicles withdrew from the camp in the early hours of Friday morning, leaving the area through the Beit Iba and Huwara checkpoints.

The operation caused huge damage in the area, and led to the murder of two Palestinian civilians, among them one disabled man.

A senior leader of the al-Qassam brigades, the armed wing of Hamas, identified as Nihad Shqerat, was kidnapped during the three days of siege.

During three days of fighting, one Israeli soldier was killed by Palestinian Resistance Fighters.

Elsewhere, the Israeli occupation army kidnapped two senior leaders of the al-Aqsa brigades, the armed wing of Fatah, both of whom had been on Israel’s so-called amnesty list. The two men were released several hours later.
