The Palestinian people are returning to the Jenin camp after the occupation
forces withdrew from it, and the resistance fighters are roaming the
streets, an *Al Mayadeen *correspondent reported early Wednesday.

Several Israeli media outlets reported, quoting a spokesman for the Israeli
occupation forces, that "Israeli forces have begun withdrawing from Jenin."

The Israeli occupation forces began to leave the camp shortly after 9 PM on
Tuesday, Israeli *Channel 7 *and *Channel 13* reported.

"The violent clashes near Jenin Hospital forced the army to evacuate the
area with air support," while the Al-Quds Brigades - Jenin Brigade
confirmed that its fighters were still targeting the occupation forces and
vehicles in numerous regions.

Palestinian freedom fighters attacked the Israeli occupation forces using
IEDs and took up arms

against them, with one of the explosive devices destroying an armored
vehicle, which resulted in several confirmed casualties among the Israeli
occupation forces, a field commander in the Al-Quds Brigades in the Jenin
refugee camp told* Al Mayadeen *on Tuesday.

"The scale and intensity of the confrontations on the second day were
fierce and direct, with the freedom fighters detonating new explosive
devices, including powerful roadside bombs," the Palestinian commander said.

"Our forces opened fire and prevented the advancement of occupation
soldiers, dealing damages to and causing casualties among the enemy
forces," he added.

Moreover, the Palestinian military commander commented on Israeli reports
regarding a partial IOF withdrawal from the vicinity of the Jenin refugee
camp, saying the resistance does not take into consideration the news about
the withdrawal. "We call on the resistance fighters to be cautious, not to
disperse, and to follow the instructions of the leadership of the Jenin
Brigade."

"The resistance groups are still engaged in the confrontation, and the
alleged withdrawal by the enemy is a tactical maneuver aimed at
redeployment," the commander added.

The Jenin Brigade announced in a statement that its fighters "discovered an
Israeli special force in the Jenin camp square and managed to thwart its
mission," and that they "dealt with the special force swiftly and targeted
it with intense gunfire and explosive devices."

The Brigade clarified that its fighters "attacked the occupation forces at
Al-Asfour Roundabout with intense and concentrated gunfire and explosive
devices," as they also engaged in fierce confrontations with the intruding
forces on the Cinema axis in the camp.

This comes as the Israeli occupation continues its aggression on the city

and camp of Jenin in the occupied West Bank for the second day in a row,
while Palestinian Resistance fighters bravely confront Israeli occupation
forces with barrages of bullets and detonating explosive devices.
