The operation comes a couple of days after Israeli media reported, citing the occupation forces, that at least seven Resistance fighters were martyred in a heavy exchange of fire in Aqabat Jaber camp, near Areeha.

Al Mayadeen correspondent in the West Bank reported that the residents of Aqabat Jaber camp did not find the bodies of the martyrs, amid fears that they would be withheld by the occupation.
