<p>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 <strong>Al Mayadeen </strong>correspondent reported early Wednesday.</p>
<p>Several Israeli media outlets reported, quoting a spokesman for the
Israeli occupation forces, that "Israeli forces have begun withdrawing
from Jenin."</p>
<p>The Israeli occupation forces began to leave the camp shortly after 9 PM on Tuesday, Israeli <em>Channel 7 </em>and <em>Channel 13</em> reported.</p>
<p>"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.</p>
<p>Palestinian freedom fighters attacked the Israeli occupation forces using IEDs and <a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/palestinian-resistance-confront-bomb-iof-in-jenin" target="_blank" rel="noopener">took up arms</a>
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<strong> Al Mayadeen </strong>on Tuesday.</p>
<p>"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.</p>
<p>"Our forces opened fire and prevented the advancement of occupation
soldiers, dealing damages to and causing casualties among the enemy
forces," he added.</p>
<p>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."</p>
<p>"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.</p>
<p>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." </p>
<p>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. </p>
<p>This comes as the Israeli occupation continues its <a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/intl-condemnations-continue-to-befall-israel-over-jenin-aggr" target="_blank" rel="noopener">aggression on the city</a>
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.</p></div></div></div>
