IDF troops and officers of police's elite Yamam unit have been operating overnight in the Tulkarem area, surrounding a home where several wanted gunmen are holed up. The forces are carrying out a tactic known as “pressure cooker” that involves escalating the volume of fire directed at a building to force suspects to come out. According to military sources, armored bulldozers demolished part of the building, troops fired several shoulder-launched missiles at the structure, and a Hermes 450 drone carried out a warning shot strike. Several gunmen have been killed amid the raid so far, the sources say.
