In the West Bank, Israeli occupation forces withdrew from the governorate of Jenin, after launching a failed raid into the city earlier on Thursday morning, Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported.

A video, circulated by local social media users, showed a van owned by special undercover forces being escorted out of Jenin by military jeeps. The last armored vehicle shown in the video was clearly being towed by another jeep, as Palestinian Resistance fighters successfully confronted the Israeli force.

According to local sources, a covert Israeli special forces unit made an attempted incursion into al-Jabriyat neighborhood. However, the Resistance fighters successfully identified the infiltrators, who had employed a vehicle cleverly disguised as a civilian van in their operation.

Al-Quds Brigades discovers & confronts undercover force

The Palestinian Islamic Jihad's al-Quds Brigades - Jenin Brigade announced that its fighters were able to discover the infiltrators and confront them with heavy fire.

The Resistance group kept its audience updated on its official Telegram channel, saying its fighters continued to fend off the invading forces, in line with the Resistance's Battle of Al-Aqsa Flood.

At 10:17 am (local time), al-Quds Brigades fighters were able to push the special force into a nearby building in al-Jabriyat. Another group of fighters confronted the withdrawing Israeli force in al-Hissan roundabout, al-Quds Brigades - Jenin confirmed, adding that its fighters used locally manufactured improvised explosive devices (IEDs) to do so.

Locals reported loud explosions likely resulting from the detonation of several IEDs throughout the incursion.

Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades and al-Qassam Brigades fighters also engaged in the confrontations, the two factions announced.

Israeli forces reportedly attempted to detain Palestinians from Jenin, while reports suggest that several civilians were severely injured by live bullets fired by Israeli forces.

Occupation authorities have launched wide-scale arrest campaigns in several areas across the occupied West Bank, while also assassinating several local leaders of Palestinian Resistance groups. However, the main objective of suppressing acts of Resistance, launched from the West Bank, has not been achieved. Instead, Resistance fighters continue to confront every Israeli incursion into cities and towns.
