For its part, the Israeli occupation military spokesperson claimed that the operation targeted “armed cells” in the Jenin area.
The latest incident comes on the second day of the incursion of Israeli occupation forces in Jenin reinforced by military bulldozers, which carried out large-scale sabotaging, including destroying electricity lines and infrastructure, causing significant damage to Palestinian properties, businesses, and vehicles.
Palestinian resistance groups, including Hamas’ Al-Qassam Brigades and Islamic Jihad’s Jenin Battalion of Al-Quds Brigades, said they were repelling the Israeli incursion, with fighters engaging in clashes with occupation forces across the neighborhoods of the city and its camp.
