Israeli forces clashed with residents of the Jenin refugee camp on Tuesday morning before detaining a number of young men and pulling out of the West Bank city.

Israeli troops raided several homes in the camp’s Al-Hadaf neighbourhood, including the residence of Maher Turkman, who is currently on the run from Israeli forces. They detained his son, Ahmad.

�����������’s Army Radio said five Palestinians were arrested in total and two others were wounded.

The other Palestinians detained were named as Ahmed Al-Souqi, Abdullah Al-Batal, and Nour Al-Batal. It was not clear who the fifth man was.

There was a temporary power outage in the area during the raid.

The Palestinian Jenin Brigades armed group said in a brief statement that it targeted Israeli forces and their vehicles in the vicinity of Jenin camp, claiming to have injured some soldiers.

In January, nine people, including a 61-year old woman, were killed in what was described as a massacre in Jenin.

Nearly 100 Palestinians have been killed since the start of this year alone, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry. On Monday a 15-year-old boy was killed in an Israeli raid on the Aqabat Jabr camp near Jericho.

Israeli forces have intensified their raids on Palestinian towns and communities in the West Bank - notably the cities of Nablus and Jenin - after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu came back to power in November 2022, heading what is considered to be �����������’s most far-right government ever.
