Israeli forces appeared to have withdrawn from three refugee camps in the occupied West Bank by Friday morning, after a more-than weeklong military operation that left dozens dead and a trail of destruction.
Mourners, some armed, carry the bodies of Palestinian men who were killed during an Israeli military operation, draped in the Islamic Jihad militant group flags, during their funeral in Jenin, West Bank, Friday, Sept. 6, 2024.

The official spoke on the condition of anonymity in line with military regulations.
