Israeli forces operating in refugee camps in northern Samaria conducted a reconnaissance patrol today to prepare for the establishment of a permanent military outpost inside a camp. During the operation, troops identified a suspicious object; an explosive device detonated at the scene, and security forces are investigating the cause and clearing the area of additional threats.
The IDF is advancing plans to establish a permanent outpost inside a refugee camp in northern Samaria, signaling a shift from periodic raids to a sustained presence in a region that has been the focus of counter-terror operations since the 2023 war. Today, a reconnaissance patrol was conducted to prepare the ground for the outpost. During the patrol, troops identified a suspicious object, and an explosive device detonated — the source of ignition is not yet determined, according to the military. The incident is under investigation, and security forces are sweeping the area for additional booby traps. The operation comes amid a broader IDF campaign in northern Samaria refugee camps aimed at dismantling terror infrastructure and asserting security control. No casualties among Israeli forces have been reported in this specific incident.
