Israeli forces withdraw from Jenin and its camp, says Palestine news agency


CAIRO (Reuters) - Israeli forces have withdrawn from the city of Jenin and a refugee camp there, following a 10-day episode of "violent aggression", says the Palestine news agency (WAFA).

Twenty-one people were killed in the city and camp, the Palestinian health ministry said in a statement on Friday (Sept 6).

A Reuters witness said the Israeli forces left behind extensive damage to infrastructure.

In a statement on Facebook, the Palestinian foreign ministry accused Israel of transferring to the occupied West Bank its brutal destruction and devastation in the Gaza Strip, as evidenced by the situation in the cities of Jenin and Tulkarm and the refugee camps there.
