IDF forces withdrew from the PA-controlled city of Ramallah last night, but are stationed outside the city in an encircling deployment. Israeli forces remain in Area A only in Tul Karem and around Jenin, but they are scheduled for withdrawal in the coming days as well. During the IDF\'s 18-day stay in Ramallah, the forces killed and arrested a number of wanted terrorists.



Terrorist attacks continued in Gaza, including a mortar shell at a Jewish community in northern Gaza and two grenades at an IDF outpost near N\'vei Dekalim.
