Israeli Forces Arrest Dozens of Palestinians in Attack on Jenin

TEHRAN (Tasnim) – The Israeli occupation forces on Saturday attacked Qabatiya town in the northern West Bank, causing injuries among dozens of Palestinians and arresting a number of others.

After storming Muthallath al-Shuhada village, south of Jenin, the occupation forces entered the town and shot tear gas canisters at the Palestinians, forcing many to suffocate. They also detained others, according to the Palestinian WAFA News Agency.

The Israeli regime forces said in a statement that they arrested Muhammad Abu Zina during a daylight raid in the town of Qabatiya, south of Jenin.

On Friday evening, Israeli soldiers injured a Palestinian child in the ‘Aida refugee camp, north of Bethlehem, in the occupied West Bank.

Media sources said the soldiers attacked Palestinian protesters who marched near the eastern entrance of the refugee camp and fired many live rounds, rubber-coated steel bullets, and gas bombs.

The sources stated that a child was injured from fragments of a rubber-coated steel bullet before Palestinian medics rushed him to a hospital in Bethlehem.

The soldiers also closed the main street near the refugee camp and prevented the Palestinians from crossing.

Israeli forces have recently been conducting daily and overnight raids and killings in the northern occupied West Bank, mainly in the cities of Jenin and Nablus, where new groups of Palestinian resistance fighters have been formed.

The Palestinian health ministry says at least 171 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces in the illegally occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip since the beginning of the year, including 51 Palestinians during Israel’s three-day assault on Gaza in August.
