Israeli forces besiege a house in Jenin and raid the home of a captive Hamas leader
The occupation army continues its storming of the city of Jenin and its camp in the occupied West Bank, and is besieging a house in the village of Al-Shuhada, south of the city, amid armed clashes between resistance fighters and the occupation army. Its forces also raided the house of a captive leader of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) in Nablus.
The Al-Quds Brigades - Jenin Battalion, the military wing of the Islamic Jihad Movement, said that its fighters, along with other formations, were clashing with the invading forces, and confirmed that they detonated homemade explosive devices on the occupation military vehicles, achieving direct hits. The Jenin Battalion also targeted an occupation military bulldozer in the cemetery axis with a highly explosive device.
Local sources said that special forces are besieging a house in the village of Al-Shuhada, south of the city, after the occupation forces raided and searched a number of houses, and turned some of them into military barracks. They also deployed snipers on the roofs of a number of buildings inside the city and the camp.
The same sources reported that clashes broke out around the besieged house. For its part, the Israeli army radio said that "Israeli forces fired missiles at a house where two wanted men were holed up in Jenin and killed them."
At the same time, sources said that the occupation forces stormed the town of Salem and the village of Sakaka in Nablus, north of the West Bank, and raided the home of the imprisoned Hamas leader Hussam Harb.
Eyewitnesses said that the Israeli army also stormed the village of Burqa, northwest of Nablus, and Beita and Qabalan, south of the city, without reporting any injuries or clashes.
The Israeli occupation forces also closed all entrances leading to the village of Tabqa, south of the city of Dura in Hebron, and prevented citizens from moving.
Posters were hung on the walls containing threatening messages, and eyewitnesses confirmed that the occupation forces arrested one of the children while he was going to school and that he was injured in the head.
In other developments, the official Palestinian news agency, WAFA, said late Monday evening that a number of citizens suffered from suffocation "during the Israeli occupation forces' storming of the town of Al-Khader, south of Bethlehem (southern West Bank)."
The agency added that "the occupation forces stormed the town of Al-Khader, firing sound bombs and toxic gas at homes and shops, which led to a number of citizens suffering from suffocation."
In the same context, sources told Al Jazeera that the occupation forces stormed the Deheishe refugee camp in Bethlehem, south of the West Bank, and surrounded it, deploying large forces in its neighborhoods. They also raided homes and arrested a number of young men, in addition to raiding a printing press in the camp.
In the central West Bank, Wafa News Agency confirmed that the Israeli army stormed the village of Kafr Ni'ma, west of Ramallah, and "clashes erupted between citizens and the occupation forces, during which bullets and sound bombs were fired at the citizens, without any injuries being reported."
The agency confirmed that the Israeli army arrested 3 Palestinians in the Wadi al-Maleh area in the northern Jordan Valley.
She added that "the occupation forces arrested Ibrahim Salman Raheel Najada, Burhan Ali Zamel Daraghmeh, and Ahmed Abdel Rahman Rashid, and they were taken to an unknown location," without giving details about their ages.
In parallel with the genocide in the Gaza Strip, the Israeli army and settlers expanded their attacks in the West Bank, including occupied Jerusalem, resulting in a total of 785 martyrs and about 6,300 wounded, according to official Palestinian data.
