The ongoing Israeli aggression on Jenin has now claimed 10 Palestinian lives, with the latest victim being 29-year-old Mahmoud Ibrahim Jaradat, who was killed by Israeli gunfire in the village of Ta’nek, west of Jenin.
In addition to the 10 martyrs, 40 Palestinians have been injured during the Israeli aggression, which has also seen the occupation forces destroy infrastructure around Jenin Governmental Hospital and arrest 6 young men.

The Israeli occupation military launched what it calls “Operation Iron Wall” in Jenin on Tuesday, following a decision by the Israeli cabinet last Friday to include the West Bank as a current target of the ongoing aggression.

As part of the operation, Israeli forces have also stormed several other West Bank towns and villages, including Al-Mazra’a Al-Gharbiya, north of Ramallah, Al-Ain camp west of Nablus, Rojib east of Nablus, Aqraba south of Nablus, and Tuqu’ southeast of Bethlehem, where they carried out raids and made arrests.

Since yesterday, the occupation forces have continued to install iron gates at the entrances to towns and villages in the West Bank, as part of a policy of tightening the siege on all governorates, cutting them off and turning them into “isolated areas”, restricting the movement of citizens, and imposing collective punishment on them.
