The Israeli army announced “expanding its military operations in the northern West Bank,” noting that “it is considering carrying out another large-scale operation in the south.”
The Israeli website Walla reported that the fighting in the Jenin camp was supposed to end on Tuesday, but Defense Minister Yoav Galant directed the operation to continue “as long as intelligence information is received about terrorist infrastructure in the area.”
As the Israeli military operation in the northern West Bank continued for the ninth consecutive day, Israeli forces continued to storm several cities and towns in the West Bank and arrested a number of Palestinians.
Coinciding with the ongoing storming by the occupation forces of the Far’a camp south of Tubas in the West Bank, the Palestinian Red Crescent reported the killing of 7 Palestinians in the bombing of a vehicle in the city of Tubas, including the son of the Palestinian prisoner Zakaria Zubeidi. “Ambulance crews retrieved 5 martyrs from the bombed vehicle, while resuscitation operations are being carried out for a sixth injured person.”
Earlier this morning, Red Crescent sources reported that “a young Palestinian man was killed by Israeli forces in the Far’a camp, south of Tubas in the West Bank,” adding that “the Israeli forces shot the young man with more than one bullet inside the Far’a camp, south of Tubas, and abused him and dragged him with a bulldozer, and prevented the ambulance crews who were nearby from reaching him.”
Israeli forces stormed the village of Kafr Dan, west of Jenin, at dawn on Thursday, and arrested a young man. Local sources said that “the occupation forces stormed the village, surrounded a house, detained its occupants, and fired bullets at it. The Israeli forces stormed the Ein refugee camp, west of Nablus, and deployed in several places. They raided several homes of citizens. The Israeli forces also arrested a girl during the storming of the town of Beitunia, west of Ramallah. They also arrested a journalist after storming his home in the village of Burham, north of the city. The Israeli forces stormed the town of Shawawra and the village of Za’tara, east of Bethlehem. The Israeli forces launched a campaign of raids on Palestinian homes in the Aqbat Jaber camp in Jericho, and arrested a freed prisoner from his home. The Israeli army also stormed the Far’a camp with a number of patrols and armored personnel carriers and sent military reinforcements to it.”
Several photos and video clips captured the effects of the massive destruction left by the Israeli army in the city of Tulkarm and its camp during its military operation in the northern West Bank that began nine days ago. Heavy Israeli bulldozers carried out bulldozing and destruction of streets and infrastructure in the alleys of the city and camp that were destroyed by previous incursions. Large parts of the walls, fences and doors of shops and homes were damaged. During this military operation, water, electricity and communications networks were also damaged, leading to their interruption and disruption of the internet networks.
Nine days ago, the Israeli army and the General Security Service (Shabak) announced in a joint statement the launch of a military operation in the cities of Jenin and Tulkarm in the West Bank. The Israeli army operation, which has been ongoing for nine days, has left 40 dead, bringing the death toll in the West Bank since October 7 to 700.
