Israeli Army Exchanges Fire With Palestinian Fighters, Abduct Father And
Son, In Jenin
By IMEMC News - January 3, 2023
------------------------------

Early Tuesday morning, several armored Israeli military vehicles invaded
Jenin city and Jenin refugee camp in the northern West Bank and attempted
to abduct some resistance fighters but failed after exchanging fire with
them. The soldiers abducted a Palestinian father and his son from their
home.

Media sources said the soldiers invaded the city and the Jenin refugee camp
from several directions, leading to an intensive exchange of fire with
Palestinian resistance fighters.

They added that the soldiers attempted to invade some neighborhoods where
it is believed Palestinian resistance fighters were hiding, but the
intensity of the gunfire forced them to leave.

During the violent searches of homes, the soldiers abducted a former
political prisoner, Bassam Abu Obeid, and his son Taqiyuddin in the
Al-Masarwa neighborhood.

Several units of undercover forces also infiltrated Jenin but could not
enter the Jenin refugee camp and had to withdraw.

During the invasion, the soldiers stopped Palestinian medics and
journalists and threatened to fire them if they entered the targeted areas.

While the soldiers withdrew from Jenin and its refugee camp, Palestinian
fighters continued the barrage of live fire until the army left the area.

Furthermore, Salam At-Taher, the director of the Education Department in
Jenin, announced that all schools would open at nine in the morning instead
of eight to ensure that the soldiers withdraw from Jenin before students,
teachers, and staff head to their educational facilities.

In related news, Palestinian fighters exchanged fire with Israeli soldiers
invading Tubas city in the northeastern West Bank.
