The Israeli occupation military continues its aggression in the occupied West Bank, sending additional military reinforcements to Jenin in the north, while destroying civilian properties and infrastructure in the city.
This comes as Israeli occupation forces have completely emptied the Jenin camp, forcing out its residents, estimated at more than 22,000 people, amid mass detainments in the city and neighboring villages.
The Prisoners Information Office reported that the occupation forces detained released prisoner Rami Abu al-Robb, along with two Palestinian youths, Amin al-Ashab, and Ayman Alawneh, from the town of Qabatia, south of Jenin, as well as a youth from the town of Arraba, southwest of the city, according to Palestinian media outlets.
In the Tulkarm refugee camp in the northern West Bank, the occupation forces blew up a house, while in the eastern neighborhood of Tulkarm city, they raided commercial shops and searched them.
Israeli forces also detained Red Crescent crews at the entrance to the Tulkarm refugee camp and fired sonic grenades at press crews while they were conducting interviews with displaced individuals.
In the same context, confrontations erupted between Palestinian Resistance fighters and the occupation forces during their raid on the village of Osarin, south of Nablus in the northern West Bank. The Israeli forces also stormed the village of Madama, south of Nablus, and fired smoke bombs intensively.
The occupation forces also raided the town of Azzun, east of Qalqilya in the northern West Bank, where they stormed Palestinian homes.
In the village of al-Mughair, northeast of Ramallah, three Palestinian youths were injured by gunfire from an Israeli drone. In the city of al-Bireh, Israeli forces forced locals to close the reception area for released prisoner Zakaria al-Zubaidi and raided the town of Ein Yabrud, east of Ramallah.
In the southern West Bank, the occupation forces raided the town of Idna, west of al-Khalil, and stormed the home of released prisoner Izz al-Din Awad.
Simultaneously with the ongoing Israeli assaults, the al-Quds Brigades and the al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades in Jenin announced that their Resistance fighters engaged in fierce battles and confrontations with the occupation forces, using machine guns and explosive devices, landing direct casualties.
