The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) detained dozens of Palestinian men in the West Bank city of Tulkarem yesterday, September 11th, following an explosive device attack targeting an army vehicle near the Nitzanei Oz Crossing. The attack, claimed by the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, lightly injured two soldiers inside a Panther armored personnel carrier (APC). The IDF confirmed that troops carried out detentions and questioning of numerous suspects in Tulkarem yesterday in the aftermath of the attack. While the exact number of individuals currently in custody has not been disclosed by the IDF, footage shared on Palestinian media reportedly shows soldiers escorting dozens of men in a line. This incident occurred as Egypt had previously requested humanitarian assistance for Gaza, with airdrops concluding after a month and a half. The IDF had also issued directives on September 12, 2025, for residents of Gaza City and Khan Yunis to evacuate specific areas due to intensified operations.
