Meanwhile, the Palestinian Red Crescent announced that it received three young men who were arrested this morning and suffered injuries from beatings by Israeli occupation forces in Jenin after the city was invaded.
Palestinian media reported that the occupation forces invaded Jenin, raided several neighborhoods, conducted extensive searches, raided homes, interrogated residents, and assaulted young men who were subsequently taken to the hospital.
The Israeli soldiers stormed a cafe in the town, vandalized its contents, tore pictures of martyrs, threw sound grenades at vehicles and citizens, and pursued and arrested several young men.
Additionally, Israeli forces invaded the towns of Sinjil, north of Ramallah, and Nahalin west of Beit Lahm from multiple directions. They positioned themselves in the Zawiyah area, amidst gunfire, sound grenades, and tear gas, leading to clashes.
Citizen Halima Ahmed Fatoun, 42, from Nahalin, was injured by Israeli occupation forces' gunfire after they fired at a vehicle as it passed through the village of Husan.
For over an hour, the village of Husan saw fierce confrontations with occupation forces concentrated in the al-Muteina area, resulting in several citizens suffering from suffocation, according to Palestinian media.
