During a military raid on Jenin, Israeli soldiers strapped an injured Palestinian civilian to the front of a military jeep and paraded him through the street as a human shield. He was eventually handed over to Palestinian medical teams.
The Israeli army withdrew from Jenin refugee camp after a three-day incursion that left 12 Palestinians dead. But the armed resistance in the camp remains defiant, vowing to repel all invaders.
Israeli forces conducted a four-hour long raid in the norther Jordan valley, killing three Palestinians. Residents say one of the targets of the raid was a resistance fighter and commander of a local battalion called the Tubas Brigade.
The Israeli army is now killing resistance fighters in the Jenin Brigade using drones after several failed assassination attempts by Israeli special forces on the ground, an associate of the Jenin Brigade told Mondoweiss.
Armed resistance in the West Bank had been concentrated in larger cities, but since October 7 it is spreading. “Resistance in Azzun used to be non-armed,” a resident of the small town tells Mondoweiss. “Then everything changed after October 7.”
Israeli forces disguised as hospital workers and civilians entered Jenin’s Ibn Sina Hospital and assassinated three Palestinians as they slept. The brazen killing marks an unprecedented escalation in Israel’s war on Palestinians in the West Bank.
Israeli drone strikes have killed nine Palestinians in Nablus and Tulkarem during a massive ongoing army operation in the West Bank. As many as a 1,000 Palestinians have been detained in what locals are calling a “collective punishment” campaign.
Israeli forces raided Tulkarem in the occupied West Bank, where they killed three young Palestinian men, shooting at their incapacitated bodies before running over them.
At least 11 Palestinians were killed in the West Bank on Sunday, including seven who were killed in a single Israeli airstrike on Jenin. “They’re dealing with us like Gaza, attacking civilians,” a fighter with the Qabatiya Brigade tells Mondoweiss.
Israel’s recent 38-hour invasion of the Nour Shams refugee camp escalated its assault on armed resistance in the West Bank. Fighters from the Tulkarem Brigade tell Mondoweiss, “resistance will not end as one generation passes it to the next.”
