JENIN, Sept 21: The Israeli army imposed a curfew on Sunday in Jenin after tanks, jeeps and armoured vehicles re-entered the centre of the West Bank town, Palestinian and Israeli security sources said.

The sound of gunfire could be heard but there were no reports of any casualties, Palestinian sources said, adding that some 30 vehicles had entered the town.

An Israeli military source confirmed troops had entered the town and imposed a curfew “as part of the ongoing operation against the terrorist infrastructure”.

She denied that as many as 30 vehicles had been involved, but declined to provide further details. Israeli troops redeployed on the outskirts of Jenin on Saturday after a two-day sweep targeted against Palestinian militant groups.—AFP
