The Israeli occupation, on the eleventh day of aggression on the West Bank, has the Jenin and Tulkarm camps under siege and continues to blow up houses and besiege others, leaving behind a trail of destruction affecting homes, property, and infrastructure.
The director of the Al Mayadeen’s bureau in occupied Palestine reported today, Friday, that a force of Arab-attired undercover Israeli soldiers infiltrated the town of Qabatiya, south of Jenin, amid house demolitions in the city.
The occupation army sent in more military reinforcements to the town in the aftermath of the infiltration, coinciding with the arrest of a Palestinian youth by the occupation forces after besieging his house in the town of Yamoun, west of Jenin.
This comes as Israeli occupation forces have completely emptied the Jenin camp, forcing out its residents, estimated at more than 22 thousand people, amid mass detainments in the city and neighboring villages.
Meanwhile, the Palestinian Ministry of Health reported that two Palestinians were killed by Israeli occupation gunfire in the Jenin camp yesterday evening, and their bodies are still withheld.
The two martyrs were identified as Resistance fighters Yazan Hatem al-Hassan from the Jenin camp and Amir Ahmad Abu al-Hassan from the town of Yamoun, who were killed after carrying out a complex ambush against the occupation forces in the Jenin camp yesterday, which led to the death of a soldier and the injury of several others.

On its part, the Palestinian Red Crescent Society said three women were injured by shrapnel as a result of the Israeli shelling of the camp.
Meanwhile, Palestinian Resistance fighters continue to confront the invading Israeli forces, and in one instance, they targeted them with an IED in the town of Silat al-Harithiya, north of Jenin.
The al-Quds Brigades - Jenin Brigade announced that its fighters from the Silat al-Harithiya Battalion were able to detonate several IEDs prepared in advance targeting Israeli military vehicles as they were passing through the entrance to the town and storming the town of Yamoun, resulting in confirmed casualties.
In the city of Tulkarm in the northern West Bank, Israeli occupation forces continue their aggression on the city and its camps for the fifth consecutive day while bulldozing, raiding, and emptying Palestinians’ homes, amid military reinforcements.
In response, the al-Quds Brigades - Tulkarm Brigade confronted an Israeli infantry force in the southern neighborhood of Tulkarm, resulting in confirmed casualties.
Moreover, Martyr Thabet Thabet Governmental Hospital and the Israa Specialized Hospital are still under siege, occupying the tall commercial buildings surrounding them and obstructing the work of ambulances and medical crews while subjecting them to search and field investigations upon entering and exiting the hospitals.
