The sources indicated that the occupation forces fired at ambulances, blocked their way, and impeded their access to the Jenin camp. Furthermore, they deployed military reinforcements to bolster their invading troops, coinciding with heightened aerial activity over the city.
Consequently, the Palestinian Red Crescent announced that the occupation forces prevented its teams from accessing the area surrounding the camp following reports of injuries inside it.
The occupation forces bombed a house in the Jenin camp, with local Palestinian media reporting that the house owners remained inside.

Concurrently, confrontations broke out with the Israeli occupation forces on Tuesday evening following their raid into the town of Turmus 'Ayya and the Jalazone camp, situated north of Ramallah.
The occupation forces also stormed the Qabr Hilwah Bridge area, east of the city of Beit Lahm, detained several Palestinians, and searched their vehicles. In the city itself, several citizens suffered from suffocation during confrontations with the occupation forces in the town of Taqou.
In a related context, settlers, under the protection of the occupation forces, assaulted civilians in the village of Duma, situated south of Nablus, and fired live ammunition at them.
The occupation forces continue to carry out extensive raids during detention operations, subjecting detainees to severe beatings and threats against them and their families. Furthermore, the Israeli forces are engaging in widespread sabotage and destruction of homes.
The Israeli occupation is escalating its aggression against the West Bank, in conjunction with its ongoing aggression against the Gaza Strip, which has been ongoing for 137 days.
It is noteworthy that the Israeli military has issued a warning of potential explosions in the West Bank during the holy month of Ramadan, amidst escalating confrontations between Palestinian resistance fighters and the occupation forces in its cities.
