By Julia Frankel and Nasser Nasser, Associated PressA Palestinian man is detained by members of the Israeli forces during a military operation in the West Bank refugee camp of Al-Faraa, Wednesday, Aug. 28, 2024.
He said Israeli forces killed nine militants, including three in an airstrike in Tulkarem and four in an airstrike in Al-Faraa. He said another five suspected militants were arrested, and that the raids were the first stage of an even larger operation.

Nabil Abu Rudeineh, a spokesman for Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, condemned the raids as a “serious escalation” and called on the United States to intervene. Abbas later announced he was cutting short a visit to Saudi Arabia and returning to the West Bank, where his government is based.
Israel captured the West Bank, Gaza and east Jerusalem in the 1967 Mideast war. The Palestinians want all three for a future state.
