Palestinian media reported renewed armed confrontations between Resistance fighters and Israeli occupation forces raiding the city of Jenin.
Sources told Al Mayadeen that the occupation forces repeatedly launched smoke bombs around the governmental hospital in Jenin.
Meanwhile, journalist Mohammad Samir stated that Israeli forces continue to impose a siege on the hospital for the third consecutive day.
The Palestinian Red Crescent reported on Wednesday a worsening humanitarian situation in the city of Jenin.
According to the organization, Jenin is grappling with a severe shortage of infant formula and bread, with restrictions imposed by occupation forces hindering the movement of citizens and impeding the arrival of medical teams to assist the injured and wounded.
On Wednesday evening, Israeli forces bombed a barber shop in Jenin camp, owned by citizen Uday Jalama, after firing an "Energa" shell at it, resulting in its complete destruction and burning. A citizen was injured by live bullet shrapnel in the face in the eastern neighborhood.
Additionally, a young man, Qassam Bassem Zidan (29 years old), from Jenin city, was martyred after being shot in the head by an Israeli sniper.

Local sources mentioned that Israeli drones bombed a house in the camp, and Israeli soldiers stormed several mosques using their loudspeakers for singing in a provocative act.
This led to violent confrontations with the occupation forces, and residents responded by making loud Takbir (declaration of God's greatness) through loudspeakers in several mosques as a counter to these provocative and unruly acts by the Israeli soldiers.
A young man was also shot in the foot during the ongoing confrontations with Israeli forces in Jenin city and camp.
