Israeli forces have carried out more airstrikes in the West Bank while new protests rage across Israel, calling on a cease-fire and the release of the remaining hostages of Hamas. The U.S. is considering a direct deal with Hamas to release American hostages, five sources say. NBC’s Raf Sanchez reports for TODAY.
Israeli forces appeared to have withdrawn from three refugee camps in the occupied West Bank by Friday morning, after a more-than weeklong military operation that left dozens dead and a trail of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. Overnight, Israeli armored personnel carriers were seen leaving the Jenin refugee camp from a checkpoint set up on one of the main roads, and an Associated Press reporter inside the camp saw no evidence of any remaining troops inside as dawn broke early Friday morning.
During the operation, Israeli military officials said they were targeting militants in Jenin, Tulkarem and the Al-Faraa refugee camp curb recent attacks against Israeli civilians they say have become more sophisticated and deadly. It was not immediately clear whether they were removing troops from the other two camps as well. In southern Gaza, health workers resumed vaccinating children against polio, continuing the second phase of a large-scale immunization campaign.
