Palestinian Resistance fighters targeted an Israeli military vehicle in Jenin, the occupied West Bank, early on Friday, the al-Quds Brigades - Jenin Brigade announced.

The Palestinian Islamic Jihad's (PIJ) military wing in Jenin said that fighters in Silat al-Harithiya detonated an explosive device, targeting an Israeli military vehicle and resulting in confirmed casualties.

Meanwhile, Palestinian media outlets reported large explosions being heard in western Jenin, at the entrance to the town of Silat al-Harithiya.

This comes as the Israeli regime continues its aggression on the cities of Jenin, Tulkarm, and Tubas, in the northern West Bank, which has lasted for over two weeks. Israeli onslaughts in the occupied territory have resulted in the martyrdom of 29 individuals, the wounding of dozens, and the displacement of thousands of Palestinians.

Occupation forces have stormed family homes, stolen property, vandalized houses, and demolished others during this period. It is worth noting that the latest aggression follows a series of large-scale attacks launched against cities and towns of the West Bank, since October 7, 2023, where intense arrest campaigns have been executed.

According to the Palestinian Prisoner's Club, Israeli authorities have detained at least 174 Palestinians from Jenin and Tubas alone, since the start of the latest round of attacks.

The organization underlined that the number of detainees in Jenin and its refugee camp was no less than 120, while in Tubas, the number of arrests reached 54, most of them residing in the town of Tamoun.
