Two Palestinian youths and an Israeli soldier were injured during the occupation forces' raid, Wednesday morning, into the towns of Qabatiya and Zababdeh, south of Jenin, in the West Bank. The occupation also arrested 11 Palestinians in separate parts of the West Bank.
The Israeli army announced the injury of a soldier in a clash with Palestinian gunmen during an arrest operation in the town of Qabatiya at dawn today.
Sources stated that a Palestinian young man was wounded in the town of Qabatiya with three bullets in the chest and the feet, and eyewitnesses said that the occupation soldiers shot him from zero distance, then the patrol car ran over him before he was transferred to the hospital in critical condition.
According to eyewitnesses in Qabatiya, the occupation forces raided several neighborhoods, surrounded the houses, and confrontations took place between them and the Palestinian youths, during which an occupation military vehicle was hit by a high explosive device.

The Palestinian Prisoners Club reported that the arrest campaigns were concentrated in the villages and towns of Nablus, Jenin, Ramallah and Tulkarm, and the detainees were transferred to detention centers for interrogation in cases related to resistance to the occupation.
In Hebron, activists reported cases of gas suffocation during clashes with the occupation in the Kreisa neighborhood of Dura.
The Directorate of Education in Nablus decided to delay the school hours until nine in the morning, due to the occupation forces storming the city.
During 2022, Israel arrested about 7,000 Palestinians in the West Bank, and its forces killed 171 others, according to a human rights report and the Palestinian Ministry of Health.
On the other hand, the Israeli army announced late yesterday evening that a missile was launched from the Gaza Strip towards Israeli territory, stressing that the launch failed and the missile did not cross the borders of the Strip, and the Israeli warning sirens were not triggered.
No Palestinian party claimed responsibility for the missile launch, but it came after tension and threats from the factions after the Israeli Minister of National Security, Itamar Ben Gvir, stormed the courtyards of Al-Aqsa Mosque on Tuesday morning, for the first time since assuming his duties last Thursday.
The far-right minister stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque several times in his personal capacity and as a Knesset deputy, but it was the first time that he stormed it in his capacity as a minister within Benjamin Netanyahu's new government, which is described as the most right-wing in Israel's history.
