Jenin: Israeli forces continue the aggression for the 9th day in a row. The Israeli occupation continues the aggression on the city of Jenin and its camp for the ninth consecutive day, resulting in the deaths of 16 Palestinians, with dozens injured and detained, amidst widespread destruction of property and infrastructure.

According to Palestine News and Information Agency - WAFA, the burning, demolition, and bulldozing of citizens' homes and properties in the camp's neighborhoods persist.

Additionally, two citizens were injured near the Jalameh checkpoint, and a young man was detained from the Al-Bayader neighborhood.

Military reinforcements are ongoing from the Jalameh military checkpoint to Jenin and its camp surroundings. The occupation forces deployed small-sized equipment and bulldozers to aid entry into the camp's narrow alleys and facilitate operations. Roads were opened deep inside the camp, and citizens were evacuated from the eastern area, known as the Horse Roundabout.

The infrastructure and streets around Al-Zahraa School, the camp square, Mahyoub Street, and nearby neighborhoods suffered significant destruction. Confrontations occurred at the Cinema Roundabout and in the Hisbah area, with occupation forces reportedly beating youths and deploying vehicles in multiple city areas.
