Local Palestinian media confirmed the deployment of occupation army snipers on the rooftops of houses in the city of Jenin, coinciding with the deployment of military vehicles and bulldozers into the city, as Israeli military bulldozers reached the main Jenin roundabout, and bulldozed shops in the city, destroying vendors’ stalls and private property. In response, resistance fighters targeted the occupation forces with explosive devices near the cinema roundabout.
IOF storm cities in the West Bank
In the northern West Bank, occupation army units raided the city of Tulkarm, engaging in confrontations with the resistance fighters.
In the central West Bank, occupation forces raided the village of Bitello, west of Ramallah, and attacked several young Palestinians. Additionally, an Israeli ground force raided the Jalazoun camp, north of Ramallah. Furthermore, in the city of al-Bireh, the IOF stormed the Satah Marhaba neighborhood and arrested Professor Khaled al-Tarifi after storming his house in the neighborhood.
Palestinian resistance fighters opened fire on the occupation forces as they stormed the Ain al-Sultan camp in the city of Areeha, located in the east-central part of the West Bank. Simultaneously, the occupation forces detained the freed prisoner Nasser Safi from the Jalazoun camp at a checkpoint in the city of Areeha.
In the southern part of the West Bank, Israeli occupation forces conducted raids into the towns of Beit Ummar, north of al-Khalil, and Dura, to the south of the city. In Dura, they detained the liberated detainee Ismail al-Awawda and Sheikh Yasser al-Rajoub, confiscating their vehicles.

The Israeli incursions campaign included the city of Beit Lahm, south of the West Bank, where the IOF raided the town of Taqou, southeast of the city. Furthermore, the IOF stormed the town of Anata, northeast of the occupied city of al-Quds.
With the escalation of confrontations between the Palestinian resistance and the Israeli occupation in the West Bank, it is noteworthy that the Israeli media has reported the Israeli military's warning that "the West Bank is on the verge of exploding."
Israeli raids and detentions in the cities and camps of the West Bank have been ongoing since October 7th of last year, as part of a continuous Israeli aggression. This coincides with the occupation's relentless assault on the Gaza Strip for the 96th consecutive day.
