Palestinian resistance fighters have encountered Israeli army forces in the Jenin region of the occupied West Bank, in light of a rise in the spate of Israeli violence against Palestinians across the occupied territories.

A video circulating online showed fighting and shooting between the Palestinian fighters and the soldiers of the Israeli regime, who attacked the town of Qabatia in the south of Jenin city on Wednesday morning.

At the same time, the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Battalions, the military wing of the Fatah movement, announced that fierce clashes had taken place between them and Israeli forces in the city of Qabatia.

In recent months, the rulers of the Israeli regime, who are afraid of the increasing power of Palestinian resistance groups in the West Bank, have made great efforts to control the situation in this region.

Israel has repeatedly raided various areas of the West Bank, especially the Jenin camp and Nablus, to arrest “wanted” Palestinian fighters and youths, but their raids were met with strong resistance from Palestinian fighters.

Israeli analysts constantly warn about the consequences of the growth of resistance movements in Tel Aviv.

Earlier on Tuesday, Palestinian media outlets reported that Israeli troops, accompanied by bulldozers, stormed the camp, triggering violent confrontations with local residents.

The regime’s forces deployed several snipers on the rooftops and surrounded a house in the camp.

Also, Israeli forces prevented medics from the Palestinian Red Crescent to enter the camp and even opened fire at an ambulance.

The Palestinian health ministry said eight Palestinians were wounded during the raid, adding that they were transferred to the hospital after sustaining injuries in the limbs.

Over the past months, Israel has ramped up attacks on Palestinian towns and cities throughout the occupied territories. As a result of these attacks, dozens of Palestinians have lost their lives and many others have been arrested.
