Resistance discovers Israeli special forces infiltrating into Jenin

In the early morning hours of Thursday, Resistance fighters in the Jenin camp, northern West Bank, discovered Israeli occupation army special forces that had infiltrated the camp. They targeted them with a heavy barrage of bullets and engaged in fierce confrontations, pushing the occupation army to bring in reinforcements and expand the raid after their forces were revealed.

Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported an armed confrontation involving Israeli special forces in the Jenin camp. It was confirmed that forces of the occupation army were targeted with homemade devices in Jourat al-Dhahab within the Jenin camp.

That said, the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades claimed responsibility for their fighters engaging in violent confrontations with Israeli special forces, who were discovered to have raided the Jenin camp.

The resistance confronted the occupation forces at the Martyrs' Triangle, located south of the city of Jenin, as they moved to reinforce the impending attack on the area. Sources clarified that upon discovering the Israeli special unit, the resistance fighters targeted it with a heavy barrage of bullets, and confrontations broke out.

Also in the northern West Bank, local sources confirmed that Israeli occupation forces arrested the two young men, Uday Abu Sheikha and Jamal Hadayda, after storming their homes in Tulkarm.
