The occupation forces arrested Palestinian youth, Omar Abed Al-Bayan, after storming his house in Jenin, as well as the freed prisoner Bashar Qasrawi.

Israeli offensives continue in the northern West Bank for several months now under the pretext of pursuing wanted persons, where most raids were concentrated on Nablus, Jenin, Beit Lahm, Ramallah, and Al-Khalil.

Over the past months, dozens of homes were raided and searched, and their contents were tampered, subjecting their residents to field investigations after hours-long detentions.

On its part, the Jenin Brigade announced that its Resistance fighters were able to target Israeli occupation forces in the vicinity of Jenin refugee camp with heavy bullets.

For its part, the Palestinian Prisoner Club reported the arrest of 24 Palestinians from the West Bank, who were transferred for interrogation by the security services under the pretext of participating in popular Resistance against Israeli settlers and occupation forces.

It is noteworthy that the number of Palestinian martyrs that have fallen so far at the hands of occupation forces and settlers since the beginning of this year has risen to 51, including 11 children, an elderly woman, and a prisoner who was martyred inside an Israeli occupation prison due to medical negligence.
