'No security' on occupied land

Israeli occupation forces continue to besiege Jenin Governmental Hospital, deliberately obstructing the work of paramedics and ambulances. IOF troops are also conducting raids and vandalizing numerous homes in the city's eastern neighborhood, the sources added.

In al-Khalil, occupation forces stormed the Jabal Abou Rumman area and established military checkpoints along the roads leading to the city and Beit Lahm, effectively closing most of the entrances.

The Israeli occupation also closed the Ibrahimi Mosque in al-Khalil, barring Palestinians from entering, and raided the Bab al-Zawiya area in the city center, according to Al Mayadeen's field sources.

Dual op in Al-Khalil

Palestinian Resistance fighters carried out late Friday two operations that targeted the settlements of Gush Etzion and Karmei Tzur near Hebron in the southern West Bank, which involved car bomb explosions and confrontations.

Several Israelis were wounded, including the commander of the Etzion Regional Brigade.

Israeli occupation forces closed the entrances to al-Khalil, particularly to the south of the area where the operations occurred, and deployed substantial reinforcements, including helicopter units.

Palestinian Resistance Hamas movement, among other groups, commended the operations, saying they are a "clear message that the Resistance will continue to be strong, far-reaching and persistent as long as the brutal aggression of the [Israeli] occupation and its targeting of our people and our land continues."

"The [Israeli] entity ... will not enjoy security on our land and will receive more painful blows from our heroic Resistance."
