Israeli forces withdrew from Qalandia Institute following a four-day occupation of its buildings, the Ma'an news agency reported. The military had launched the incursion earlier in the week, taking control of the compound as part of broader operations in the area near the Qalandia checkpoint between the West Bank and Jerusalem.
The institute, a significant cultural and educational facility, had been under direct military control during the period. The withdrawal came after Israeli troops secured the premises and conducted operations within the occupied structures.
The Qalandia checkpoint remains a focal point of movement between Palestinian territories and Jerusalem, with the institute's location making it strategically sensitive amid ongoing military activities in the region.
