The Israeli occupation forces killed two Palestinians, including one of the commanders of the Jenin Battalion, and wounded others during a campaign of arrests carried out at dawn today, Thursday, in the Jenin refugee camp in the West Bank.
Palestinian sources reported that a special Israeli force infiltrated the camp, accompanied by vehicles carrying Palestinian license plates, to carry out arrest operations.
Armed clashes took place between resistance fighters and the occupation forces, which pushed more than 70 vehicles to the outskirts of the camp and detained some residents as human shields.
With the martyrdom of Jabareen and Bawaqna, the death toll of Jenin martyrs has risen to 9 since the beginning of this year, out of 17 martyrs in the West Bank. #Jenin #Jenin_resistance #Jenin_Battalion #Palestine #Quneitra_martyrs pic.twitter.com/ARX1ZfhAMw
