The freedom fighters of Al-Quds Brigades - Jenin Battalion, discovered an Israeli special forces team on the outskirts of the Jenin Refugee camp and engaged the Israelis in question.
The freedom fighters fiercely engaged the Israeli occupation forces with machine guns and IEDs, the Jenin Battalion said.
The Resistance also said the Israeli occupation forces had called for back-up, which were also confronted in Al-Nasira Street using similar means.
The Palestinian Resistance managed to put Israeli military vehicles out of service during the raid, which led the occupation forces to call for backup in order to escort the vehicle out of the camp.
In an exclusive statement to Al Mayadeen, Al-Quds Brigades announced that the Israeli special forces would not be safe from the Palestinian freedom fighters. "The continuation of such operations in our cities will be very costly for the Israeli occupation and will act as a key of hope that will unlock the jail cells of our detainees."
"We underline that we stand behind our prisoners and will go to any length so as to prevent the Israeli occupation from cornering them while safeguarding their achievements they paid for with blood," Al-Quds Brigades underlined.

The Israeli occupation forces detained liberated prisoner Mohammad Naghnaghiyyeh, a top commander in Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades after raiding his house.
The Israeli Army Radio said the Israeli forces were "conducting military activity in the Jenin refugee camp", which saw the IOF carrying out a raid using dozens of military vehicles.
Just yesterday, the Israeli occupation conducted a similarily-brutal raid in Tulkarm, wherein a Palestinian man was martyred and another was injured in violent confrontations with the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF), at dawn on Tuesday, as they stormed the Nour Shams camp in Tulkarm in the Occupied West Bank.
As the IOF stormed the Nour Shams camp, the Palestinian Resistance confronted them and defended Tulkarm. Amid these fierce confrontations, Ayed Abu Harb, 21 years old, was shot in the head by the IOF, leading to his martyrdom, while another was severely injured.
Moreover, sources in the camp reported that the Resistance fighters detonated an explosive device in an IOF bulldozer as it carried out acts of sabotage in the Nur Shams camp in Tulkarm.
The IOF also damaged the memorial of martyr Seif Abu Labde in the center of Nour Shams camp in Tulkarm.
Special forces withdraw from Jenin
The IOF withdrew on Tuesday from the Jenin refugee camp in the occupied West Bank following a fierce confrontation with Resistance fighters, an Al Mayadeen correspondent reported.
Occupation forces had initiated an incursion into Jenin camp, sparking intense clashes with Resistance fighters who swiftly engaged the invaders with live fire and locally manufactured explosive devices.
Al-Quds Brigades - Jenin Brigade announced that they successfully downed and captured an Israeli unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) that had been flying over the camp to assist the intruding occupation troops. They also said that they targeted occupation vehicles at the camp's outskirts with a barrage of bullets and previously planted Improvised Explosive Devices.
Our correspondent in the West Bank reported that the occupation forces deployed significant military reinforcements to the camp after Resistance fighters discovered a special Israeli force on the Jenin camp's outskirts. In the process, two members of Hamas were captured by the IOF, and the occupation admitted that it had gone into the camp in pursuit of another individual.
