Funeral Procession in Jenin
Earlier on Thursday, hundreds from the town of Jaba south of Jenin, in the northern West Bank, mourned the martyrdom of Majdi Fashafsha, 37, and carried his body to the town's martyr's cemetery.
Fashafsha, a former prisoner and leader of the Jaba battalion of the Al-Quds Brigades, was killed during a military operation in which occupation forces surrounded a house in the town of Jaba. This came amidst armed clashes between occupation soldiers and Palestinian resistance fighters, during which occupation forces also arrested Bassem Malaishe, a cadre of the battalion, and injured several other citizens with varying wounds.
Yesterday morning, the occupation army renewed its invasions of cities, towns, and camps in the West Bank, with military operations concentrated in the city and camp of Jenin, where armed confrontations erupted with resistance fighters in the eastern part of the city. The occupation's military bulldozers intentionally razed several streets in the camp and destroyed properties while carrying out house intrusions, thoroughly searching them, wreaking havoc upon their contents, and conducting field interrogations with dozens of citizens, eyewitnesses report.
Israeli occupation forces also bulldozed the site where journalist Shireen Abu Akleh was martyred, at the entrance to Jenin camp.
Since the Israeli aggression on Gaza broke out on October 7, 2023, the occupation army has intensified its military operations in the West Bank, escalating the frequency of invasions and raids on its cities, towns, and camps, resulting in the martyrdom of 342 Palestinians and injuring about 3950, as well as the arrest of 5780, according to official sources.
