Ongoing Aggression
Israeli troops, accompanied by bulldozers and warplanes, raided occupied Jenin in the pre-dawn hours of Monday while the Israeli occupation army announced it started a wide-scale “military operation” in Jenin.

Palestinian local sources reported that Israeli occupation warplanes carried multiple airstrikes on Jenin, targeting several sites.
