The official Palestinian news agency, WAFA, said the Israeli army raided Jenin from different directions and vandalized infrastructure and roads, destroyed several power transformers and deployed snipers in the area.

Witnesses told Anadolu that an exchange of gunfire erupted with Palestinians in Jenin.
