The al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) repelled an invading Israeli occupation forces unit in the Jenin refugee camp in the northern occupied West Bank.
Palestinian media sources said the Resistance fighters engaged in fierce confrontations with the occupation forces in the Damaj neighborhood inside the Jenin refugee camp.
The al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, the military wing of the Fatah Resistance movement said that it engaged in fierce confrontations with the Israeli occupation forces in the al-Damaj neighborhood inside Jenin refugee camp.
Israeli media reported that an IOF chief was hit by an explosive device in Jenin, adding that a soldier from the undercover force was injured in Jenin in the West Bank.
The Israeli occupation forces carried out a large raid on Palestinian homes in the al-Damaj neighborhood in the Jenin refugee camp and arrested several Palestinians, including Hilal Jaramneh, a woman from the al-Hamid family, and Yazan Ali Samoudi, who sustained several gunshot wounds after being shot by the Israeli occupation forces in Jenin.
Dozens of casualties
The Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) announced that its teams managed to reach a martyr in Jenin, raising the death toll to eight following the Israeli occupation's large-scale invasion of the city, which began earlier on Tuesday. Additionally, the PRCS reported that at least 21 Palestinians have been injured, with some injuries considered severe.
The PRCS stated that its teams reached an unidentified martyr in the al-Hadaf neighborhood in Jenin before Israeli forces seized the ambulance while it was transporting the martyr to the hospital for identification and later burial.
Moreover, the PRCS added that Israeli occupation forces targeted their ambulance with live bullets in the al-Hadaf neighborhood while it was heading to assist the injured, causing damage to the vehicle.
As part of the ongoing aggression, the Israeli occupation forces called for reinforcements to Jenin, as confirmed by local Palestinian media. The Israeli forces continued their military operation and expanded throughout several neighborhoods in Jenin and its camp.
In turn, Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported that Israeli bulldozers worked on destroying infrastructure near Jenin Governmental Hospital and obstructed ambulance crews from reaching the injured, including school students.
With the eight martyrs in Jenin, the total number of martyrs in the West Bank since October 7, 2023, has risen to 514, including 127 from Jenin, according to the National Association of the Families of the Martyrs of Palestine.
