Fire breaks out at Jenin market amid Israeli raid
Israeli forces set fire to fruit and vegetable stalls at a market in Jenin, in the occupied West Bank on Saturday, the Anadolu news agency reported.
The fire came as Palestinians in Jenin are already facing food shortages as Israeli military vehicles besieged the city and refugee camp in the north of the occupied West Bank. Palestinians stall holders tried to salvage what they could as the fire burned.
An Israeli military bulldozer was seen at the scene as the fire still burned.
Israeli forces arrest 6 Palestinians in Hebron
The Wafa news agency is reporting that the six arrested in the occupied West Bank included three women. They were rounded up from the city of Hebron and nearby Halhul and Yatta, all in the Hebron governorate.
Israeli forces also arrested another young man during a raid on the Askar camp near the city of Nablus earlier in the morning, according to Wafa. And as we reported earlier, the soldiers shot a 17-year-old in the back during that raid.
The arrests come as Israel’s military also continues its deadly raid on northern areas in the occupied West Bank, including the Jenin refugee camp. Israeli forces have killed at least 24 people since the operation began on Wednesday.
