Israeli forces arrest several Palestinians as they raid Jenin in northern West Bank

Israeli military forces have arrested at least five Palestinians during a raid in the northern West Bank city of Jenin and a nearby refugee camp, as tensions remain high across the occupied territories since Israeli troops attacked worshipers in the al-Aqsa Mosque compound during the holy fasting month of Ramadan.

The official Palestinian news agency Wafa, citing local sources and Palestinian security officials, reported that violent confrontations broke out between youths and the Israeli forces in several neighborhoods of Jenin soon after the soldiers broke into the flashpoint city.

The sources added that Israeli forces then fired live rounds, stun grenades and tear gas canisters to disperse the crowd. A young man was injured after he was struck by shrapnel in the foot.

Large groups of Israeli forces stormed neighborhoods in Jenin and the vicinity of the refugee camp and deployed snipers on the rooftops.

Israeli soldiers arrested two brothers after breaking into their family home in the al-Jabriyat neighborhood. They detained a third Palestinian after forcing their way into his home in another area of Jenin.

The occupation forces also stormed a house in the Jenin refugee camp and arrested a man and his son.

Moreover, special forces surrounded a house adjacent to Jenin camp, as explosions were heard in the area.
