Palestinian Resistance fighters in the occupied West Bank continue to confront Israeli occupation forces that are besieging homes, attacking Palestinians, and storming towns for the third consecutive day, engaging in confrontations with them using explosive devices and bullets and causing confirmed injuries.
Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported today, Thursday, that the occupation forces launched an arrest campaign in the towns of Qabatiya and Arraba in Jenin, the Balata camp in Nablus, and Beit Ummar north of al-Khalil.
Our correspondent reported on the heavy deployment of occupation soldiers on the al-Nasira and Haifa streets and the al-Hadaf neighborhood in the Jenin camp, alongside their infiltration into the village of Taybeh, west of Jenin.
Simultaneously, the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades - Jenin announced targeting the Dotan military checkpoint, west of Jenin city, with machine guns. In the city of Nablus, the group's fighters targeted the al-Tur military checkpoint also with machine guns, achieving direct hits among the invading forces, and engaged in fierce confrontations with occupation forces storming the city in the National Hospital axis.
On its part, the al-Quds Brigades - Jenin Brigade announced that its fighters were able today to detonate an IED aimed at an Israeli military vehicle in the al-Hisan axis, putting it out of service and resulting in confirmed hits. The group also detonated an IED of the Sijjil type aimed at another military vehicle in the al-Jalbouni axis.
Moreover, the al-Qassam Brigades announced in a statement that its fighters engaged in "fierce confrontations with enemy forces with machine guns and homemade bombs in the towns of Arraba and Fahma, west of the city of Jenin in the northern West Bank" and "detonated an IED aimed at a Zionist bulldozer near the Jenin Cinema in the center of the city."
The group also said it monitored the transfer of injured Israeli soldiers following confrontations with Resistance fighters in the town of Burqin, west of Jenin.
In a separate statement, the brigades announced the martyrdom of Qutaiba al-Shalabi and Muhammad Nazzal, the youths who carried out the al-Funduq operation, after they engaged in violent confrontations with the occupation forces that besieged them in a house in the village of Burqin in the city of Jenin in the northern West Bank.
"All the bloody plans of the enemy that it has begun to implement in the West Bank will only bring it more painful blows and decisive joint operations that will break its back," the statement stressed.
The Resistance group also affirmed that "all the factions confronting the criminal enemy in the various cities, villages, and camps of the West Bank will deprive its soldiers and settlers of any sense of security in the settlements of the West Bank and all the cities of the 1948 occupied territories."
Meanwhile, the Palestinian Red Crescent stated that its crews treated two injuries as occupation forces brutally assaulted two Palestinian youths in Qabatiya.
2,000 Palestinian families displaced from Jenin refugee camp
Around 2,000 Palestinian families have been displaced from the Jenin refugee camp as of the second day of the Israeli aggression, an official in the city in the occupied West Bank told Anadolu on Wednesday.
The families have dispersed to nearby villages under harsh conditions, without the basic necessities, Bashir Matahin, the municipality’s public relations officer, told Anadolu Agency.
"A large-scale displacement was recorded today before the Israeli army, in the evening hours, prevented residents from leaving and informed them to try again on Thursday morning," he said.
The official described the humanitarian conditions of displaced people as "dire".
On his part, Jenin Mayor, Mohammad Jarar, told Anadolu Agency that the army was forcibly evacuating entire neighborhoods within the camp, warning against their potential destruction.
Yesterday saw fierce confrontations as Israeli occupation forces infiltrated Palestinian cities and camps in the West Bank.
On January 21, the Israeli army initiated what it dubbed Operation Iron Wall targeting the city of Jenin in the West Bank.
Israeli media reported that the "military operation" went into effect by order of the political level after the cabinet last Friday included the West Bank on the list of targets of the ongoing war.
