azatutyun.am The Israeli armed forces have conducted searches in the Kalandiya Palestinian refugee camp, located near Jerusalem.
Journalists from France Press have witnessed around a dozen armored military vehicles entering the camp located in the occupied territory of the West Bank. Israeli soldiers did not allow journalists and residents to enter the area.
The COGAT agency of the Israeli Ministry of Defense, which deals with civilian affairs in the Palestinian territories, stated in an Arabic announcement that the large-scale operation is aimed at "terrorist elements, terrorist infrastructures, as well as the storage and illegal trafficking of weapons."
The spokesperson for the Kalandiya camp management committee, Mohammad Aslan, told AFP that the Israeli army has arrested at least 20 people and has taken positions on the rooftops of several houses in the camp.
