As the confrontations were unfolding, local sources reported that the Israeli aggression killed two young men, one of whom was identified as Abdullah Abu Al-Haija, while the other was identified as Aysar al-Amer.
The Israeli occupation's bulldozers sabotaged the camp's infrastructure, digging through the streets of the city and plowing through the streets leading to it, an Al Mayadeen correspondent reported.
The IOF's machinery destroyed a water pipeline, and it is not clear the extent of the damage this action could have caused.
Moreover, the occupation forces opened fire at ambulances that were trying to tend to those injured, with the Palestinian Red Crescent saying the IOF was firing at its crews for over 20 minutes before they were allowed to reach the wounded.
Several casualties were reported.
The Palestinian Ministry of Health announced Wednesday that the number of Palestinians martyred in the West Bank since the beginning of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood has reached 103, including two martyrs who died inside Israeli occupation prisons.
Earlier, Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported that a martyr from Qalandiya arrived at the Palestine Medical Complex in Ramallah after receiving gunshot wounds to the head and chest by Israeli gunfire.
Meanwhile, the political activist from Jenin, Adnan al-Sabah, confirmed to Al Mayadeen that there is a call for a continuous strike and to engage the enemy, amid broad consensus and application.
This morning, Palestinian Resistance fighters opened fire on an Israeli force while it was carrying out a campaign of arrests and raids in the city of Qalqilya.
The occupation carried out raids and a campaign of arrests in several areas of the West Bank, resulting in several confrontations between Palestinians and Israeli occupation forces. This comes as more Palestinians are martyred and injured during marches in the West Bank held in support of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood and the Resistance in the Gaza Strip.
The Palestinian Resistance confronted Israeli occupation forces conducting multiple incursions with large military reinforcements across Jenin and Nablus in the occupied West Bank.
According to the Jenin Battalion - Al-Quds Brigades, Resistance fighters in Jenin camp have prepared ahead for anticipated incursions, adding that the Battalion, since the start of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, has been confronting the IOF along al-Hadaf front.
Moreover, the Brigade's statement confirmed that the Resistance snipers successfully targeted an Israeli soldier at the al-Faroun roundabout.
It stated that the Brigade had successfully detected the incoming IOF convoy, allowing them to successfully “damage and disable a number of vehicles." The statement also noted that at least four IOF soldiers were confirmed wounded during confrontations at al-Hadaf front.
On its part, Al-Qassam Brigades in Jenin announced its participation in the then-ongoing confrontations with the occupation forces, saying, "Our fighters alongside the Resistance factions are engaged in violent confrontations with the [Israeli] occupation forces that are storming Jenin now."
