Occupation forces were stationed at the western entrance of the refugee camp - the place where they assassinated journalist Shireen Abu Akleh on Wednesday.
Our correspondent spoke of violent confrontations at the entrances to and inside Jenin refugee camp, while young Palestinians resisted the occupation forces who have stormed the city and were firing heavily in the area.
Furthermore, Israeli occupation forces surrounded the home of Mahmoud Al-Dabaii in the Al-Hadaf area of the camp, demanding that he surrender. Al-Dabaii is a member of the "Jenin Brigades." The Israeli forces, while getting Al-Dabaii to surrender, held his mother hostage as a human shield.
The occupation forces prevented ambulance crews from entering the targeting area; activists on Twitter are reporting that occupation soldiers are detaining ambulance officers in the Al-Hadaf neighborhood.
Al Mayadeen correspondent reported that there are attempts to arrest two brothers and ex-prisoners from the Al-Dabaii family, in addition to attempts to besiege the family home.
In addition, the occupation forces fired Energa bombs at Mahmoud Al-Dabaii's house in the camp to force him to surrender.

The Israeli occupation forces are hunting Palestinians trying to aid resistance fighters from Al-Dabaii’s family in Jenin.
Following the heavy attacks and the use of his mother as a human shield, resistance fighter Anas Al-Dabaii has surrendered himself to the Israeli occupation forces.
Moreover, the IOF brought a bulldozer into the refugee camp with the aim of destroying and bulldozing Palestinian houses.

Within the same timeframe, Daoud Al-Zubaidi, the brother of Palestinian prisoner Zakaria Al-Zubaidi, was wounded by an Israeli sniper bullet. Zubaidi was one of six prisoners who escaped Gilboa Prison in September, and was later caught following a massive manhunt. Daoud was then transferred to Ibn Sina Hospital in Jenin.
Occupation forces are carrying out a large-scale arrest campaign in the West Bank, where Palestinians from Kifl Haris - north Salfit - have been arrested, under hollow claims that "weapons were found" in their searches in Al-Khalil.
Yesterday, confrontations erupted in Al-Shallala Street in Al-Khalil, where the occupation fired live bulletsm sound bombs and tear gas at citizens.
