Israeli forces hit Jenin with air strikes and ground raids carried out by hundreds of soldiers, killing at least eight Palestinians, report Al Jazeera.
The Israeli aggression on Jenin has raised fears of yet another escalation with armed resistance groups in the besieged Gaza Strip, some of which have been lending support to Palestinian fighters in the occupied West Bank.
The Joint Operations Room of the Palestinian Resistance Factions, an umbrella group comprising political parties in Gaza, said in a statement: “We call on all our people in cities, villages and camps, especially around Jenin, to confront the Israeli occupation and support Jenin.
“We call on the resistance fighters in all arenas to respond to any aggression if the Israeli occupation continues its crimes against our people.”
