Explosions were heard in the al-Damj neighborhood, according to Maariv.
A source in Hamas’s Al-Qassam Brigades leadership told Qatari state-run media giant Al Jazeera that the terror organization had prepared itself for long days of confrontations and battles.
“We reassure our people that the resistance, with all its formations in the West Bank, is in the best stages of coordination,” the source said.
Walla reported that the IDF is increasing the amount of force in the area. Apache helicopters were flying over Jenin, according to Arab media.
Palestinian Authority-run news outlet Wafa stated that Saturday was the fourth consecutive day of Israeli activities in Jenin.
Wafa claimed that Palestinians there had been shot by Israeli forces but did not note whether or not they were armed combatants.
Hamas later reported the death of one of its operatives in the al-Damj neighborhood.
The terrorist, named by Hamas as Muhammad Abu Al-Talal Harboush, was reportedly killed while attempting to ambush Israeli personnel in the area.
