 Israel, PA Escalate West Bank Violence Ahead Of ‘imminent’ Gaza Ceasefire

PA security services set fire to a home in Jenin as part of its siege on the city’s camp, which has been ongoing for over a month

The heavy fighting and violence gripping the occupied West Bank has escalated as Israeli army forces continue raids across the territory while Palestinian Authority (PA) troops besiege the refugee camp in the city of Jenin as part of a brutal operation that has been ongoing for over 40 days.

Dozens of Palestinians were arrested in raids across the West Bank on 14 January. The Israeli army stormed the town of Burqa northwest of Nablus, continued raids in Jenin, and sent special forces into Aqabat Jabr camp near the city of Jericho.

“After contact was restored with one of our combat formations, they confirmed to us that this morning they were able to confront a special Zionist force that tried to besiege a house in the Jabal Umm al-Qasab axis and shower it with heavy hail of bullets,” the Jenin Brigade of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) movement’s Quds Brigades said in a statement on Tuesday.

“Our heroes were also able to shower the military reinforcements with heavy volleys of bullets, achieving confirmed casualties,” it added.

The Jenin Brigade is also fighting off a PA siege and military incursion into its city’s refugee camp.
