The Palestinian Ministry of Health announced that the number of deaths in the West Bank following Israeli incursions and shelling since October 7 has risen to 103. The Ministry updated the numbers today, Wednesday, after the killing of four Palestinians in Jenin and of another in Qalqilya, in addition to the death of another young man following an injury reported days ago in Tulkarem. He noted that two of them died in Israeli prisons.

This morning, Palestine TV said that 4 people were killed and 20 others were injured in an Israeli shelling near the Jenin camp in the West Bank. The Jenin Brigade, affiliated with the Al-Quds Brigades, announced this morning that its gunmen managed to “target an Israeli force and engage in ‘violent clashes.'” The battalion said via Telegram that its fighters had achieved “direct hits. “

The battalion reported that an Israeli soldier was shot by a sniper at the Pharaoh roundabout with appropriate weapons and was directly wounded.

Palestine TV said the Israeli army was sending military reinforcements and a number of bulldozers to Jenin, where its vehicles were facing fierce resistance as they attempted to storm the city and its camp.

Al-Aqsa television reported that three Israeli military vehicles were damaged as forces stormed the targeted area and the vicinity of the Jenin camp.

Palestinian television also reported an Israeli airstrike against the vicinity of the Jenin refugee camp cemetery.

The Israeli army said its forces arrested two people “suspected of involvement in terrorist activities” and shot others in Wadi Burqin.

Social media pioneers shared videos they said were of Israeli forces storming Jenin, as well as videos targeting the Israeli army.

The United Nations, the United States and Canada called on Tuesday for a humanitarian truce in the war between Israel and Hamas to allow the safe delivery of aid to civilians affected by lack of food, water, medicine and electricity in the besieged Strip.

International pressure mounted to deliver unhindered aid to Gaza after the Hamas-controlled enclave’s Health Ministry announced that Israeli airstrikes last night killed more than 700 Palestinians.
