Israeli Forces Invade Jenin and Qabatiya

10 September 2007

Jenin – Ma'an – Israeli forces on Monday invaded Jenin refugee camp and Qabatiya village, both in the northern West Bank, and were confronted by Palestinian resistance fighters.

The Israeli troops stormed several homes in the area and met with resistance. No injuries were reported.

More than forty Israeli military vehicles surrounded western Qabatiya and central Jenin.

The Israeli forces converted homes into military posts and began searching for so-called 'wanted' Palestinians.

The military wing of Islamic Jihad, the Al-Quds Brigades, said that they clashed with the Israeli forces, but no fighters were wounded.
