Israeli-backed Palestinian Authority forces clash with resistance fighters in Jenin

Israeli-backed Palestinian Authority (PA) security forces have clashed with Palestinian resistance fighters near the Jenin refugee camp and the Jenin Government Hospital, Al Jazeera Arabic reported.

The area has witnessed escalating violence as PA security forces attempt to assert control over the camp, facing resistance from fighters opposing the Israeli occupation.

Last week, the Israeli army reportedly expressed satisfaction with a recent operation conducted by PA forces in the Jenin refugee camp, according to the Israel Broadcasting Authority (IBA).

Over the past two weeks, operations under Israeli military oversight have involved approximately 300 armed PA personnel.

Israel's Central Command has recommended strengthening the PA’s security apparatus and increasing coordination.

Following this advice, the Israeli security cabinet instructed the army to bolster its collaboration with PA forces.
