Media: Israeli troops battle Palestinian resistance in Jenin

Armed clashes between Palestinian resistance fighters and the Israeli military have resumed in the eastern part of the city of Jenin in the West Bank.

Israeli security forces met fierce resistance during the assault on Jenin, and fighting broke out on the streets, Al Jazeera reports.

The situation in the Middle East sharply worsened after the infiltration of militants of the radical Palestinian movement Hamas from the Gaza Strip into Israeli territory on October 7, 2023, accompanied by the killing of residents of border settlements and the taking of hostages.

In response, Israel announced a complete blockade of Gaza and began striking the enclave and cities in the West Bank, as well as certain areas of Lebanon and Syria.

Meanwhile, a new strain of coronavirus is spreading in the Gaza Strip, Al Arabiya reported via Palestinian doctors.

Doctors say the virus is spreading quickly in the camps for displaced people due to the crowded conditions.

The channel did not provide any details regarding the virus or the symptoms it causes, as well as the severity of the disease.
