Dozens of people have reportedly been killed, injured and arrested as Israeli forces continue to attack the Jenin and Tulkarem refugee camps.

Arrests, violence and destruction have been reported as the Israeli military continues to launch raids across the occupied West Bank.

Israel continued its raid on the Jenin refugee camp for the seventh consecutive day on Tuesday, while carrying out operations in several areas of the territory. According to available information, one civilian was killed and dozens were arrested, while Palestinian groups reported fighting with Israeli forces.

Israel says it has killed 14 fighters in Jenin since launching the raid last Wednesday and arrested 25 others.

Palestinian health officials said at least 29 people were killed, including five children.

The Palestinian Prisoners Society reported that 22 people were arrested in the West Bank in the past 24 hours.

The Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) released a video on X, accusing the Israeli army of preventing its ambulances from reaching the wounded in Jenin.

The Jenin Battalion of the al-Quds Brigades, part of the armed wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad group, said its fighters were clashing with Israeli forces using firearms and improvised explosive devices (IEDs).

In messages posted on the Telegram messaging app, he said he had carried out “direct hits” on Israeli troops.

The Associated Press news agency quoted Jenin resident Mohannad Hajj Hussein as saying that electricity and water supplies had been cut off.

“We are ready to live by candlelight, we will feed our children with our bodies and teach them resistance and perseverance on this land,” he said. “We will rebuild what the occupation destroyed and we will not kneel.”

In the south, in the Tulkarem refugee camp, Israeli forces carried out a raid for the second time this week.

A Palestinian teenager was killed by an Israeli sniper, according to the Wafa news agency, which identified the victim as Mohamed Kanaan.

Tel Aviv Tribune’s Nida Ibrahim reported from Tulkarem that the minor was shot in the neck as he went to the mosque with his father for prayers. His father was injured in the abdomen in the incident, she added.

“Palestinians say Israeli forces have raided the area several times and are still there. The roads are empty and people are afraid,” she added.

Images shared online and verified by Tel Aviv Tribune show Israeli military vehicles and bulldozers driving through the streets.

According to Wafa, Israeli forces imposed a curfew on the camp, preventing residents from leaving or entering.

Elsewhere in the West Bank, the Israeli army reportedly stormed Birzeit University, north of Ramallah, confiscating “property and publications.”

A young man was injured in a raid in Qalqiliya, a city in the northwest of the territory, after Israeli forces opened fire.

Two houses were also demolished by Israeli army bulldozers in the town of az-Zawiya. Five people were arrested in the towns of Idhna and Beit Ummar in Hebron.
