Israeli forces have once again entered the Jenin refugee camp in pursuit of suspected Palestinian militants. Israeli soldiers arrested a man who is said to be a local leader of the Islamic group Hamas. Meanwhile, Israeli soldiers destroyed the home of a relative of another suspected Palestinian militant in the town of Tulkarm. These actions come at a time when the Israeli Defense Minister has reiterated that his plan for the gradual withdrawal from re-occupied areas remains contingent upon strict measures by Palestinian authorities against militants.
