Local sources said Israeli occupation special forces stormed the house of prisoner Zakaria Al-Zubaidi, one of the Gilboa prison heroes, in Al-Jabriyat neighborhood and arrested his brother, Jibril, who previously spent 11 years in Israeli occupation prisons.
The sources said a huge number of occupation forces stormed Jenin from Al-Jalama checkpoint.
On its part, the Jenin Brigade announced that its forces were able to target Israeli occupation forces in the Jenin camp with heavy bullets and explosive devices, adding that its Resistance fighters engaged in violent confrontations and recorded direct casualties among occupation forces.

On Telegram, a channel called Jenin Al-Qassam posted several aerial photos taken by a drone that reportedly exposed the whereabouts of Israeli occupation forces during their storming of Jenin.
In this context, the director of Al Mayadeen office in occupied Palestine said that for the first time, Jenin Brigade used drones to pursue the occupation soldiers, which is a major development.

This comes after Methqal Salman Rayyan, a 27-year-old Palestinian youth from Qarawat Bani Hassan, west of Salfit, was killed on Saturday by illegal Israeli settlers' bullets in confrontations following the settlers’ incursion into the town under the heavy protection of Israeli occupation soldiers.
Eyewitnesses said that "settlers attacked a group of citizens in the northern area of Qarawat Bani Hassan and opened fire on them." Rayyan was shot straight in the head and was later martyred after succumbing to his wounds, the eyewitnesses confirmed.
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 47, including 10 children, an elderly woman, and a prisoner who was martyred inside an Israeli occupation prison due to medical negligence.
