The al-Quds Brigades - Nablus Brigade, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) movement, carried out Saturday a shooting operation, in collaboration with the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, which targeted the Israeli occupation forces at the Beit Furik checkpoint, resulting in direct hits.
Palestinian media reported that the Israeli al-Jalamah checkpoint, north of Jenin in the occupied West Bank, was targeted with a heavy barrage of bullets.
Israeli occupation forces stormed early Saturday the town of Sinjil, northeast of Ramallah in the West Bank, and detained several Palestinian citizens.

In a related context, a Palestinian man in his thirties was seriously injured by Israeli occupation police gunfire early Saturday, in the town of al-Issawiya in occupied al-Quds. The police claimed the man attempted a ramming attack against Israeli forces in the town.
Moreover, six Palestinians were injured due to severe beatings by Israeli occupation forces in al-Issawiya, including a 12-year-old child and a 76-year-old elderly woman, and were transported to hospitals in al-Quds.

A couple of days ago, the Palestinian Prisoners Society (PPS) reported that the number of Palestinians detained at the hands of Israeli occupation forces in parallel with the ongoing war on Gaza has reached more than 9,800, including 340 women and 680 children.
