A Palestinian man was shot and killed by Israeli forces during a raid on the Al-Fawar refugee camp, south of Hebron (al Khalil), in the early hours of Wednesday, while occupation forces once again invaded Jenin in the occupied West Bank.
Israeli forces stormed the camp and raided several homes, as they fired live ammunition and sound bombs at residents, the official Palestinian news agency WAFA reported.
Yahya Daniel Awad, 29, died after being shot in the chest, and four other men were injured.

Resistance groups including the Izz el-Din al-Qassam Brigades, said armed clashes with the invading forces broke out in the al-Samman neighborhood in the Jenin camp.
The Israeli forces stopped and searched ambulances entering and leaving the hospital. They also obstructed ambulances transporting patients in the camp.

Earlier this month, Israeli forces killed 22 Palestinians and injured over 30 others after an incursion into Jenin that lasted ten days.
Israeli forces also shut off the western entrance to the town of Za’tara, east of Bethlehem on Wednesday.
The director of the Za’tara municipality, Taher Mohsen, told WAFA that the occupation forces shut off the entrance with mounds of sand and cement blocks.
Undercover Forces
Also on Wednesday, Israeli forces detained the sister of slain Palestinian, Nidal Al Amer, at the Dotan military checkpoint near Ya’bad, southwest of Jenin.
Malak Al-Amer was assaulted before being detained, reported WAFA. She was on her way home in Jenin.

In the village of Marah Rabah, south of Bethlehem, Israeli undercover forces detained two Palestinian youths on Wednesday. WAFA reported that Israeli forces, disguised in civilian clothes, broke into the village and detained the youths, whose identities remain unknown.
Over 10,900 Detained
In total, at least 20 Palestinians, including former detainees, were arrested by Israeli forces in the past 24 hours, according to the Detainees and Ex-Detainees Commission and the Palestine Prisoners Society, cited by WAFA.
The detention operations took place across different governorates in the occupied West Bank, accompanied by widespread raids and abuse, assaults and threats against detainees and their families, in addition to vandalism and destruction of homes, the organizations said.
The total number of Palestinians detained in the occupied West Bank since October 7 has risen to over 10,900, according to the organizations.
