Israeli Army Injures Two Palestinians and Arrests 28 in Jaba South of Jenin

On Wednesday, the Israeli army injured two Palestinians and arrested 28 during its raid on the town of Jaba south of Jenin in the northern occupied West Bank.

The Palestinian Red Crescent Society stated in a statement that its crews in Jenin treated two injuries resulting from beatings, and they were transferred to the hospital for treatment, coinciding with the occupation forces' raid on the town.

Eyewitnesses said that "the occupation forces arrested 28 citizens from Jaba during a campaign of raids and searches that targeted a large number of homes, accompanied by field investigations inside one of the homes."

They added that "the occupation forces tampered with the contents of the homes, deliberately causing widespread destruction inside them, amid a heavy deployment of soldiers in various neighborhoods of Jaba."

The raid is still ongoing (until 06:30 GMT), amid an atmosphere of tension and fear of an escalation in arrests and violations against citizens, according to the witnesses.

On a daily basis, the Israeli army carries out extensive raids on cities and towns in the West Bank, arresting dozens of Palestinians during them.

Since the start of the genocide war in Gaza on October 8, 2023, the Israeli army and settlers in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, have killed at least 1,104 Palestinians and injured about 11,000, in addition to arresting more than 21,000.

Meanwhile, the Israeli genocide in Gaza, with American support, has left more than 71,000 Palestinian dead and 171,000 injured, and massive destruction affecting 90% of the civilian infrastructure, with reconstruction costs estimated by the United Nations at around 70 billion dollars.

Israel was established in 1948 on lands occupied by armed Zionist gangs that committed massacres and displaced hundreds of thousands of Palestinians, then Tel Aviv occupied the rest of the Palestinian lands, and refuses to withdraw and establish a Palestinian state.
