Gunfire Erupts in Jenin as Palestinian Authority Security Forces Clash with Armed Groups
Intense gunfire broke out in Jenin, West Bank, between Palestinian Authority security forces and armed militants following the theft of vehicles belonging to the authority. Witnesses reported that security forces set up barriers around a refugee camp that has been a stronghold of armed factions opposing Israel. Tensions escalated due to recent arrests of Palestinian activists, with accusations from armed groups that the Palestinian Authority abandoned its people during difficult times.
