The Israeli police said that a female soldier from the Special Unit of the Border Guard was killed in the clashes that took place in Jenin in the West Bank at dawn on Sunday, while an Tel Aviv Tribune correspondent reported that a settler was killed by shooting at his car between Ramallah and Nablus at what is known as the “Oyoun al-Haramiyya Junction.”
Tel Aviv Tribune’s correspondent reported that 6 young Palestinians – including 4 brothers – were martyred in the bombing of an Israeli march at the Martyrs’ Triangle near the southern entrance to Jenin, following confirmations from Palestinian medical sources that a number of Palestinians were martyred and others were injured as a result of bombing from that march in Jenin.
With the martyrdom of the six young men, the number of martyrs in Jenin due to bullets and bombing of the occupation rose to 80 martyrs since the start of the war on the Gaza Strip on October 7 last year.
This comes after the occupation forces stormed the city of Jenin, and armed clashes immediately broke out between them and Palestinian resistance fighters in a number of areas of the city. The Israeli army announced that 4 soldiers were injured – including two who were seriously injured – as a result of the detonation of an explosive device that targeted them in Jenin.

Local sources reported that the occupation forces stormed the neighborhoods and deployed there to arrest those they called wanted persons, and were stationed in the center of the town of Balaa. Confrontations broke out with Palestinians as they confronted the raid. The occupation forces destroyed and burned a commercial store and fired sound bombs at it before withdrawing.

In Hebron Governorate, the occupation forces stormed the city of Dura, the Al-Samoud Hill area in Masafer Yatta, and the town of Bani Naim, east of Hebron, and began raiding and searching civilian homes.
The occupation forces also stormed the city of Qalqilya in the northern West Bank, raided several neighborhoods in the city and arrested a number of young men, in light of their escalating campaign in the West Bank in conjunction with their ongoing aggression against the Gaza Strip for the 93rd day.
