They further confirmed that its sapper unit detonated five Tariq-1 explosive devices in IOF groupings in response to the occupation's attacks on civilian homes earlier on.

The sapper unit of the Jenin Brigade also targeted an occupation armored with a Tariq-1 improvised explosive device, which disabled the armored vehicle dealing casualties to its crew and setting it ablaze at the Abu Bakr road in Jenin.

Resistance fighters also confronted the infiltrating occupation forces on the Al-Jabriyat axis, where sappers managed to "detonate a Tamir explosive device in the occupation's vehicles, disabling them."

The sappers unit also detonated several explosive devices on the outskirts of the camp, dealing direct hits to IOF armored vehicles, as its fighters targeted an infantry force on the Al-Damaj axis, successfully thwarting the advancement of occupation forces.

Israeli forces transfer hostilities to Jenin hospital

Meanwhile, Palestine TV reported that the occupation's military reinforcements headed towards Jenin camp from Haifa Street, Al-Nasirah Street, and Nablus Street.

Israeli media reported on "intense clashes near Jenin Hospital," describing the current battle as "the toughest since the beginning of the operation."

Social media accounts circulated information about an attempted Israeli incursion into the hospital and said that Resistance fighters confronted the intruding force and repelled it.

The Palestinian Ministry of Health confirmed that 11 people were martyred as a result of the Israeli aggression on Jenin which was launched postmidnight on Monday; however, Resistance fighters have been able to thwart multiple incursions of the IOF scoring casualties among enemy lines by executing thoroughly planned ambushes on the intruding troops.
