Over A Dozen Killed In Jenin In Under 48 Hours As PA Joins Brutal Israeli Operation
Clashes are raging between Israeli forces and the Palestinian resistance in Jenin and its refugee camp
The death toll from Israel’s brutal operation in the occupied West Bank city of Jenin and its refugee camp has risen to 13, as Palestinian Authority (PA) forces cooperate with Tel Aviv in the indiscriminate assault.
A young resistance fighter, Mohammad Shadi al-Sabah, was shot dead by PA troops in the Jenin camp late on 22 January, bringing the number of deaths to 13 in under 48 hours.
Israeli troops demolished a home in the town of Burqin, west of Jenin, on Wednesday night after besieging it for hours. The resistance fighters who were inside reportedly refused to surrender. Two fighters responsible for a shooting operation that assassinated three Israelis in Al-Funduq village earlier this month were killed.
Heavy clashes continued to rage in the area as well as in Jenin city and the camp, continuing into the next morning – with the Jenin Brigade of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) movement’s Quds Brigades announcing several operations against Israeli forces.
“Our fighters detonated a guided explosive device in a military vehicle in the Jalbuni axis, achieving confirmed injuries,” the Jenin Brigade said early on 23 January.
