Israel has intensified its offensive against the cities of Jenin, Tulkarem, and Tubas in the West Bank, resulting in the deaths of 29 Palestinians and leaving dozens wounded and detained, in a conflict that has extended for 18 consecutive days.

The Israeli occupation forces have carried out home demolitions and road blockades, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis in the region. According to WAFA correspondents, explosions and property destruction have forced nearly 90% of the population of the Jenin refugee camp to flee.

The Jenin Governmental Hospital faces severe difficulties due to water shortages and power outages. Despite efforts by the municipality and civil defense teams to supply water, Israeli blockades have hindered the delivery of essential resources, worsening the situation.

The towns of Tammoun and Al-Far’a refugee camp in Tubas have been targets of relentless attacks, with severe mobility restrictions and an increased Israeli military presence. Israeli forces have conducted home raids, property destruction, and arbitrary detentions in an effort to quell Palestinian resistance.

Additionally, medical and press teams face significant obstacles, with shortages of essential medications and food supplies reported. The Palestinian Prisoners Society has reported that 174 Palestinians have been arrested since the offensive began, most of them in Jenin and Tubas.

Meanwhile, the Al-Quds Brigades claimed responsibility for an attack on an Israeli military vehicle in Silat al-Harithiya, causing injuries to several enemy soldiers. The situation in the West Bank continues to deteriorate, with rising tensions and violence.

This report highlights the severity of the situation and the urgent need for humanitarian intervention to alleviate the suffering of Palestinians in the West Bank.
