Jenin, 27 June 2024 – At least 17 Israeli soldiers were injured in an explosion in Jenin, located in the occupied West Bank, as reported by Al Jazeera on Thursday, June 27.

The explosion is suspected to have been carried out by Palestinian fighters. Israeli troops have been facing intense resistance from Palestinian fighters as they conduct operations in Jenin. This area has seen a significant military campaign over the past three years, characterized by the use of bulldozers, drones, and helicopters.

The ongoing operations have led to the arrest of over eighty Palestinians in at least 113 raids across the West Bank in the past three days. Numerous individuals have been injured, and many homes have been destroyed during these raids.

The escalation in Jenin comes amidst a broader context of Israeli military actions in both the West Bank and Jerusalem, which have intensified since the beginning of the Gaza invasion. The situation remains highly volatile, with continued clashes and resistance from Palestinian fighters.

The injuries sustained by the Israeli soldiers highlight the severe and ongoing conflict in the region, underscoring the complex and deeply rooted tensions that continue to drive violence and unrest in the occupied territories.
