The Israeli occupation military continued its aggression on Jenin in the occupied West Bank for the second consecutive day, murdering seven Palestinians and injuring several others, while the Palestinian Resistance continues to confront the incursion.
The Israeli forces expanded their aggression on the city of Jenin and its refugee camp, targeting most neighborhoods. The occupation forces used an Energa missile to target a house in the eastern neighborhood, causing significant destruction. They also besieged several houses in the same neighborhood with large military reinforcements, accompanied by bulldozers destroying infrastructure.

Palestinian youths confronted the raiding forces, which turned several houses into military points, conducted arrests among civilians, and imposed a complete blockade on the neighborhood by blocking all entrances with military vehicles and bulldozers.
The Israeli forces also targeted two houses in the Jenin camp and prevented the civil defense from reaching the site to control the fire. Additionally, they carried out extensive house raids in the al-Damj and Hawashin neighborhoods.
This coincided with the occupation forces besieging hospitals, including the Ibn Sina, Jenin, and al-Razi hospitals, preventing ambulances from transporting the martyrs and the injured.

The occupation forces also targeted the house of Jenin Brigade leader Uday Baajawi with incendiary bombs.
Local media reported that the Israeli occupation forces arrested Wael, Moussa, and Bashar al-Hariri, the brothers of the martyr Wiam al-Hariri, after tampering with the contents of their house in Jenin. The occupation also arrested the former prisoner Nader Masad after raiding his house in the town of Burqin, west of Jenin.
Concurrently, the occupation raided the Shuafat camp north of occupied al-Quds, the town of Naalin west of Ramallah, and the city of Beit Lahm south of the West Bank, along with the al-Arroub camp north of al-Khalil.

The city of Jenin and its refugee camp witnessed extensive destruction to infrastructure as a result of the Israeli raid. Simultaneously, Israeli forces launched a widespread arrest campaign in Jenin and its refugee camp, as the Prisoners' Club reported that Israeli occupation forces arbitrarily arrested more than 100 citizens since Tuesday morning, with some released after undergoing field investigations.
Earlier, an informed source told Al Mayadeen that the Israeli occupation forces' invasion of Jenin is the largest since its incursion on the Palestinian city in July this year.
The source noted that the Israeli forces are targeting journalists' cameras with laser weapons to prevent them from performing their duties.
The Israeli occupation has intensified its oppressive measures in the occupied West Bank following Operation Al-Aqsa Flood on October 7. Its aggression against Palestinians, which encompassed near-daily raids and executions, persisted through the seven-day truce in Gaza.
