The incursion involved a large-scale Israeli military presence accompanied by military bulldozers. The occupation forces stormed Jenin from multiple directions, firing live rounds as they besieged the city.
During the raid, the occupation army besieged the Jenin Public Hospital, the Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) local branch, and the Ibn Sina Hospital.
Israeli occupation forces also deployed snipers on the rooftops of some buildings and bulldozed several streets in the city and the vicinity of the refugee camp.
The Israeli aggression ended up in the morning with five casualties, including a child, and many injuries from live ammunition.
