The new Israeli developments and incursions come one day after armed clashes broke out at dawn on Friday after the Israeli occupation forces stormed Balata camp in Nablus in the northern West Bank, while Tel Aviv extended the state of emergency in Jenin and its camp.
On Thursday morning, the Israeli occupation forces withdrew from the city of Jenin and its camp following a new aggression that lasted two days and resulted in the death of 12 Palestinians, including 4 school students and a doctor.
Since Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, the occupied West Bank has witnessed an escalation in Israeli attacks, which resulted in the death of 514 Palestinians, the injury of 5,000, and the arrest of more than 8,000 others.
