WAFA correspondent reported that at least two people were killed and 10 others were injured, including at least three seriously, in a drone strike that targeted a group of residents in the eastern neighborhood, raising the number of Palestinians killed during the ongoing Israeli offensive against Jenin to 10.

The military forces also fired several 'Energa' anti-tank missiles targeting a number of houses in the neighborhood. Forces further blew up a house in the al-Damj neighborhood in Jenin camp, setting it on fire. Resid ent Kifah Abu Srour told WAFA that the occupation forces surrounded his house and several other surrounding houses, and forced him, along with his wife and children to leave the house, before they targeted it with an 'Energa' missile and a barrage of bullets, causing it severe damage. Forces fired over five missiles targeting the houses it besieged, after forcing their inhabitants to leave, and subjected them to interrogations. They also raided and searched several homes in the eastern neighborhood and tampered with their contents, which led to the outbreak of violent confrontations, during which the occupation soldiers fired bullets and tear gas canisters at residents and their homes. Sources reported the arrival of new Israeli military reinforcements to the city of Jenin and its camp.
