In the latest incident, three Palestinian citizens were wounded by Israeli gunfire during a raid on the village of Deir Ghazala, east of Jenin. The Palestinian Red Crescent reported that two of the wounded were shot with live ammunition in the thigh and lower back.
According to local sources, Israeli special forces infiltrated the village, shot a young man inside a car, and prevented ambulances from reaching him. They also sent military reinforcements to the village and arrested several individuals, including Sheikh Raed Tawalbeh, his wife, and his son Jihad.

The Israeli occupation’s aggression on Jenin and its refugee camp has been ongoing for 63 consecutive days, resulting in the destruction and demolition of homes, as well as the conversion of some into military barracks. The relentless campaign has claimed the lives of 36 Palestinians, two of whom were shot by Palestinian Authority security forces.

The Jenin Municipality stated that the Israeli court rejected a petition to prevent the demolition of 93 buildings containing more than 300 housing units inside the Jenin refugee camp. The occupation forces have also forcibly displaced approximately 1,000 Palestinians from their homes in the vicinity of the camp.
Sources indicate that the Israeli occupation forces have also targeted the Tulkarm and Nur Shams refugee camps in the West Bank, with more than 4,000 Palestinian families being forcibly displaced from these areas.
Furthermore, the Israeli occupation forces have stormed the Aida camp, north of Bethlehem, and Balata refugee camp, east of Nablus, in the latest wave of aggression.

Israeli media: Israel is considering steps to ensure the army’s freedom of movement in the West Bank
The Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth reported, citing sources, that “the security establishment is considering future steps to ensure the army’s freedom of movement within the West Bank camps,” and that “the security services are working to reshape the situation in the West Bank to maintain freedom of action within the camps.”
The newspaper also noted that “the army has so far demolished 200 homes in the Jenin camp since the start of the operation there,” adding that “the army intends to prevent Palestinians from rebuilding the homes and roads that were demolished in the Jenin camp,” and that “the army has established a security cordon around the Jordan Valley to strengthen control in times of peace and emergency.”
According to the same sources, “the Central Command has taken measures to survey many roads across the Green Line and installed gates that will assist in the pursuit of wanted individuals,” as they put it.
