This is the second time within 24 hours that the Israeli army stormed Aqabat Jaber camp to pursue Palestinians it seeks to arrest.
A week ago, the occupation forces imposed a military siege on Ariha, and they set up checkpoints at all its exits in the context of searching for the perpetrator of an armed attack at a restaurant near the Al-Moog settlement, south of the city, without causing any injuries.
In addition to Jericho, on Friday, the Israeli army carried out incursions in Hebron, Jenin and Tulkarem, and arrested 8 Palestinians. The incursions included armed clashes between Palestinians and Israeli forces.
Jericho mosques call for blood donations in light of the intensification of the Israeli military campaign against Aqabat Jaber camp.
