The Israeli military attacked Jenin in the occupied West Bank on Thursday, according to Palestinian media.
Videos on X, formerly known as Twitter, showed Israeli forces moving into the city in armoured vehicles. Heavy gunfire can also be heard.
Middle East Eye couldn’t independently verify the videos.
Jenin has been a flashpoint in regional tensions. Israel launched a deadly offensive on the city in July using bombs and bulldozers, levelling much of the infrastructure.
Jenin is nominally under the control of the Palestinian Authority (PA), but is home to Palestinian resistance fighters.
