The Palestinian Islamic Jihad's (PIJ) al-Quds Brigades - Jenin Brigade had announced that its fighters in the Qabatiya group detonated several highly explosive improvised devices, placed on routes taken by Israeli military vehicles, in the town of Qabatiya. Resistance fighters also targeted a military-grade Israeli bulldozer in the town.
