JENIN (Palestine Foundation Information Center) Three Palestinians were injured, and several others were arrested, including a woman, during an Israeli raid into Deir Ghazala town, east of Jenin, on Tuesday night.
According to the Palestinian Red Crescent, three individuals sustained live ammunition injuries. A special unit of the Israeli army infiltrated the village, opening fire on a young man in his car, and blocking medical teams from reaching him. Additional military reinforcements were later deployed to the area.
Local sources reported that Israeli forces arrested Sheikh Raed Tawalbeh, his wife, and their son Jihad after surrounding their home and assaulting them. Sheikh Raed Tawalbeh is the brother of the late commander Mahmoud Tawalbeh, who was killed in an Israeli airstrike during the 2002 Battle of Jenin Refugee Camp.
This incident comes as part of the ongoing Israeli military campaign in Jenin and its refugee camp, now entering its 63rd consecutive day. The campaign has involved widespread home demolitions, arson attacks, and turning civilian homes into military outposts.
Since the beginning of the offensive, the assault on Jenin has resulted in the killing of 36 Palestinians, including two reportedly shot by Palestinian Authority security forces.
