Several Palestinians were killed during intense armed clashes between resistance fighters and “Israeli” forces in Qabatiya, south of Jenin, following the siege of a house.

“Israeli” forces also surrounded a school with around 450 students inside, with no injuries reported so far – the school’s principal told Al-Jazzera.

The Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) stated that “Israeli” forces were preventing their crews from reaching the besieged house in Qabatiya.

Meanwhile, Hebrew media reported that an “Israeli” soldier was injured in the exchange of gunfire in Qabatiya, Jenin.
