Israeli occupation forces carried out airstrikes, raids, and demolitions, while displacing thousands of residents and escalating violence across the area.
This morning, a 45-year-old man was wounded by live ammunition in the Jabriyat neighborhood, according to the Palestinian Red Crescent Society, which reported treating the victim for a gunshot wound to the thigh.
The latest violence follows a deadly escalation on Saturday when Israeli forces bombed a group of young men in the eastern neighborhood of Jenin, killing 14-year-old Ahmad Al-Saadi and wounding two others. Hours later, a targeted airstrike on a motorcycle killed two more Palestinians, Noor Al-Saadi and Tammam Al-Saadi, and injured another individual.
Meanwhile, in the nearby town of Qabatiya, an Israeli drone strike on a vehicle killed two more young men, Saleh Zakarneh and Abed Alawneh, bringing the total death toll in Jenin governorate to 24 since the start of the assault, with dozens more injured.
Meamtime, Israeli military reinforcements continued to pour into Jenin and its refugee camp, as the occupation forces expanded their campaign of destruction. Several neighborhoods in the camp witnessed widespread demolitions, with Israeli troops forcing residents of many buildings to evacuate before turning them into a military outpost.
Additionally, Israeli forces stormed the eastern neighborhood of Jenin following the airstrikes, sparking intense confrontations, while another raid in the town of Arraba, south of Jenin, resulted in the detention of a young man.
Mohammad Jarrar, head of the Jenin Municipality, reported that approximately 15,000 people have been displaced from the Jenin refugee camp and the Al-Hadaf neighborhood, seeking refuge in surrounding villages and towns.
He also reported a severe water crisis affecting the city's hospitals and nearly 35% of its residents after Israeli forces targeted and destroyed water lines.
Jarrar further stated that nearly 100 homes in the Jenin refugee camp have been completely demolished, calling it a humanitarian catastrophe. He attributed the ongoing military assault to the far-right Israeli government's political agenda aimed at consolidating control over the occupied West Bank
