Paleostinian media reports said the Israeli military had entered the city and the adjacent Jenin refugee camp. A local wing of the Paleostinian Islamic Jihad terror group claimed to have opened fire on Israeli troops and hurled explosives at them. Heavy gunfire could be heard in videos published online. The PA Health Ministry confirmed the deaths but did not identify the victims. They were named in unconfirmed social media posts as Sidqi Zakarneh, Atta Shalabi, and Tariq al-Damej. Images circulating online showed Zakarneh and al-Damej brandishing assault rifles, indicating they were members of local gangs. Arabic media reports said that additional Paleostinians were maimed in the raid, without specifying further. There was no immediate comment from Israeli security forces on the raids, and there were no immediate reports of Israeli injuries in the operation. It was also initially unclear how many Paleostinians, if any, were arrested in the raid. On Wednesday afternoon, a Paleostinian gunman was rubbed out after he opened fire on a military post near the settlement of Ofra, fled, and opened fire again on troops who chased after him. The IDF has recorded around 300 shooting attacks and attempts against Israeli civilians and soldiers in the West Bank this year, compared to just 91 last year. |
