The reports added that the two Palestinians who carried out the operation were killed at the scene by Israeli occupation forces.
Earlier today, Israeli occupation forces executed a Palestinian man by shooting and running him over west of Jenin, while launching a wave of raids and arrests across the occupied West Bank and al-Quds amid a systematic Israeli escalation targeting both infrastructure and civilians.
Ahmad Ali al-Amour (55 years old) from the town of Rummana, west of Jenin, was killed extrajudicially by the Israeli occupation army, shot at close range and then run over by a military vehicle before occupation soldiers seized his body. The IOF claimed al-Amour tried to carry out a stabbing operation.
The sources added that after his execution, Israeli occupation forces detained the martyr's sons during a large-scale raid on the town, which included storming numerous homes and vandalizing their contents, while military reinforcements were deployed and sniper teams took up positions around the area.
With the martyrdom of al-Amour, the number of martyrs in Jenin governorate has risen to 41 since the start of "Israel's" ongoing aggression on January 21, as occupation forces continue their daily incursions on towns and villages across the governorate for the past 171 days.
Wide-scale arrests, settlers attacks escalate
Meanwhile, Israeli forces arrested five Palestinians in the northern West Bank city of Qalqilya as part of a systematic arrest campaign sweeping across various parts of the occupied territory.
A Palestinian woman was injured after being attacked by settlers in the Masafer Yatta area, south of al-Khalil.
In Nablus, Israeli forces escalated their systematic destruction of infrastructure in the West Bank, with military bulldozers tearing up the road connecting the towns of 'Aqraba and al-Majdal south of the city, while two Israeli bulldozers took turns demolishing a home in the village of Rafat, west of Salfit governorate.
Settlers destroyed a water pipeline supplying six villages south of Nablus, directly targeting civilian infrastructure and livelihoods.
In occupied al-Quds, Israeli forces carried out a massive pre-dawn arrest campaign today in the Qalandiya refugee camp, north of the city, detaining over 20 Palestinian youths during violent operations that saw dozens of homes stormed, property vandalized, and troops taking positions on rooftops, all under heavy cover of live ammunition, stun grenades, and toxic gas.
Amid ongoing violations in al-Quds, extremist settlers stormed the al-Aqsa Mosque courtyards and performed Talmudic rituals under heavy protection from Israeli occupation police.
Amid all this oppression, Resistance operations have intensified in recent weeks as a reaction to the extrajudicial killings and arbitrary arrests, to name a few.
