EL AVIV, July 5. /TASS/. Palestinian radicals fired five missiles into the Israeli territory from the Gaza Strip on Wednesday, the army press service reported, adding that all of them were shot down.

"Five missiles have been fired from the Gaza Strip into the Israeli territory. The air defense system successfully shot down all launches," the report said. This came following the previous report by the military of air-raid warnings heard in the city of Sderot and the areas adjacent to the Gaza Strip, the press service noted.

The Israel Defense Forces began withdrawing from the Jenin refugee camp in the West Bank late on Tuesday following two days of a counterterrorist operation.

Israel staged a large-scale operation in Jenin and a nearby camp for Palestinian refugees on Monday night. During the operation, Israeli forces spotted and seized a makeshift rocket launcher system and delivered several airstrikes on terrorist targets, the Israel Defense Forces said. According to the Kan radio station in Israel, the operation was geared to restore Israeli deterrence of radicals in the northern part of the West Bank. The previous such operation in Jenin was conducted by Israel on June 19 when the declared goal was to detain wanted persons.
