Occupation forces during a previous storming of the city of Jenin (French)
The Israeli occupation forces stormed the city of Jenin in the northern West Bank from several directions since Thursday night, and continued their raids in Husan, west of Bethlehem, since the previous night, in the largest storming of the town in years.
The occupation soldiers besieged the Al-Marah neighborhood and Wadi Izz al-Din al-Qassam in the eastern region of Jenin, and raided several homes.
The sound of gunshots was heard during the incursion of the occupation forces, and sirens sounded in the city and Jenin camp.
A Palestinian was injured after an Israeli military patrol rammed his vehicle during the occupation forces’ storming of the town of Arraba, southwest of Jenin.
Sources told Al Jazeera that military vehicles stormed the town and deployed in several neighborhoods.

Meanwhile, the occupation forces continued to storm the town of Husan, where they raided and searched a large number of homes, leaving great devastation and arresting dozens of Palestinians, including children.
The entrances to the town were also closed with cement barriers and dirt barriers, and the town was declared a closed military zone while raids continued.
On the other hand, confrontations broke out with the occupation forces during their storming of Ain al-Sultan camp, north of the city of Jericho in the Jordan Valley.
Local sources told Al Jazeera that the occupation forces raided the homes of the families of detainees, searched them, and destroyed their contents before withdrawing from the place, while Palestinians set fire to rubber tires in the streets.

The raids and arrests continue in the cities and camps of the West Bank as part of a broad Israeli escalation since the resistance launched the Al-Aqsa Flood Battle on October 7 last year.
The total number of arrests in the West Bank since that date has reached more than 6,460 detainees, according to the latest data published by the Palestinian Prisoners’ Club yesterday, Thursday.
