Media outlets also reported that confrontations erupted between the IOF and local youth in the city of Jenin. Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) senior official Khader Adnan told Al Mayadeen that the news that the brother of PIJ leader Mahmoud Tawalba was assassinated are not true.

Israeli media reported that four IOF soldiers were injured in the incident, one of whom was gravely wounded but stable, while the three others were lightly wounded. Al Mayadeen's bureau chief in occupied Palestine also reported that the three young men resisted against IOF soldiers before they were martyred.
