Israeli military officials say the country currently has control of the area, and on Wednesday at least 300 Palestinian fighters surrendered. Reuters reported, citing a senior Hamas official, that Israel has control of the area and many Palestinian fighters have been detained. The streets of the camp, where Israeli forces are searching house to house for more fighters and weapons, are deserted. On Tuesday, when a building that Israel claims had a bomb planted in it exploded, 13 Israeli soldiers were killed.
