Al Mayadeen's correspondent in occupied Palestine reported today that several Israeli settlers were injured, one of them with a serious injury, in a shooting operation in the Jordan Valley area in the occupied West Bank adding that the IOF are pursuing the shooter.
She added that the operation took place on "Street 90" in the Jordan Valley area, as Israeli settler vehicles were targeted.
Israeli media reported that at least 10 were injured in the shooting operation, adding that the IOF are conducting search operations in an attempt to find the executors of the operation.
In an interview with Israeli Channel 12, the head of the International and Middle East Arenas in the Institute for Policy and Strategy (IPS) at the Israeli Reichman University, Shay Har-Zvi, commented on this operation stressing that if "we combine" what happened in the Jordan Valley area today with what has been happening since this morning in the occupied north, it is a clear indication that the situation is "explosive" and that its deterioration is happening rapidly.
IOF kill one in Jenin amid large-scale West Bank confrontations
Palestinian youth Ayman Azouqa was killed early March 27 by Israeli occupation forces' gunfire during confrontations that erupted in Jenin in the occupied West Bank following an Israeli military incursion into the city overnight on March 26.
Before succumbing to his wounds, Azouqa was transported by the Palestine Red Crescent Society crews from the al-Marah neighborhood while suffering from severe injuries due to bullet wounds in the chest and thigh.
According to Palestinian journalist Mohammad Hamdan, before medical crews rushed to the scene, the Israeli occupation forces had prevented anyone from coming close to Azouqa and left him bleeding.
Hamdan told Al Mayadeen that Palestinian Resistance fighters engaged in confrontations with Israeli snipers deployed in a neighborhood overlooking wide areas of Jenin and its camp, adding that Israeli occupation forces carried out a widespread raid, during which they employed new tactics.
