Media sources said that an undercover Israeli unit was detected in the Al-Jabarat neighborhood, before a large army force, including bulldozers, invaded Jenin city and its refugee camp from the Jalamah military roadblock, north of the city.
Sources added that the army besieged the Jenin refugee camp, preventing citizens from entering or leaving, while deploying sharpshooters in its vicinity, amid the overhead flight of Israeli drones and an Apache attack helicopter.
Occupation sharpshooters in the Al-Hadaf and Al-Damj neighborhoods in Jenin refugee camp opened heavy fire on unarmed civilians, injuring several people, simultaneously blocking medics from reaching them.
An Israeli drone strike targeted a vehicle in the vicinity of the Jenin refugee camp, while an Apache helicopter fired 30 mm rounds in the skies over the city and its camp.
Another drone strike targeted a site near a group of volunteer paramedics with the Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS), with two missiles, no injuries were reported.
In the evening, the PRCS reported that its ambulance crews transported the body of a slain citizen to the hospital after he was shot and killed in the Al-Damj neighborhood in the Jenin camp.
The PRCS added that a Palestinian woman was shot in the thigh with live ammunition in the city of Jenin; she was transported to the hospital for treatment.

Dr. Wissam Bakr, the director of Khalil Suleiman Governmental Hospital, told the WAFA News Agency that five medical professionals were shot by Israeli snipers near the Jenin Governmental Hospital, Al-Amal Hospital, and Al-Razi Hospital.
Several occupation bulldozers destroyed the streets in the city of Jenin and its refugee camp, while a power-outage was reported after a large explosion was heard in the camp, cutting the power in several neighborhoods in the city and the camp.
Since Monday, the Israeli army have closed entrances to many towns and villages in most major cities in the occupied West Bank, separating and isolating citizens.
