Confrontations then erupted between Palestinians and Israeli soldiers as the latter besieged a house of a former Palestinian detainee and called him to surrender hismself. The wanted Palestinian was identifed as Abdel-Ghani Herzallah and he was arrested by the forces.
The West Bank city of Jenin has been the center of Israeli aggressions and military operations in the few past months, with about 50 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces since the start of the year in Jenin alone, including Al Jazeera’s veteran journalist Shireen Abu Akleh, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry.
The killings come amid high tensions on the ground as Israeli forces and settlers have escalated their attacks and crackdown against Palestinians.
Since the start of 2022, Israeli occupation forces and settlers have killed 208 Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, East Jerusalem and Gaza Strip.
