   “When I saw the occupation soldiers shooting inside the room, I put my   
   head under the blanket and hid,” said Alaa Husseiniyya, 13, who   
   witnessed an Israeli military operation carried out by special forces   
   on Saturday in Jenin.   
      
   The operation took place in Jenin’s Jabariyat neighborhood, targeting   
   Palestinian resistance fighters who were in the vicinity of the house   
   where Alaa was sleeping alongside his uncles.   
      
   Alaa told Mondoweiss that Israeli soldiers raided the room in which he   
   and his uncles slept and started shooting at them randomly. Alaa   
   recounted that when he lifted the blanket from his head, he saw his   
   uncle, Majd Husseiniyya, wounded and lying on the ground. Beside him   
   was another man, Mujahid Balas, injured in both legs and lying on the   
   floor just outside the room.   
      
      
   The Israeli forces seized one of the injured men and strapped him to   
   the front of a military vehicle, driving around while parading him as   
   a human shield before eventually handing him over to Palestinian   
   medical teams, who transported him to a hospital in Jenin.   
      
      
   One eyewitness, who preferred to remain anonymous, told Mondoweiss   
   that the Israeli forces deliberately mistreated the injured man.   
      
   “They appeared to be toying with him for amusement,” the eyewitness   
   said, pointing out that the man was neither wanted nor a resistance   
   fighter, but an unarmed civilian. This was evidenced by the fact that   
   Israeli forces did not arrest him but handed him over to the   
   Palestinian ambulance after he had been left strapped to the front of   
   the vehicle for several minutes in the hot summer sun.   
      
   Ra’fat Husseiniyya, the owner of the home that was raided, said that   
   the young men were sleeping in his house as they did every night.   
   There army had nothing against them, and they were not suspected of   
   any resistance activity, Ra’fat said. But the Israeli special forces   
   shot them directly while they were sleeping.   
      
   He went on to say that the soldiers interrogated him and asked him   
   about his relation to the men in the home. He told them that they were   
   his brothers and that there was no justification for raiding the house   
   and arresting them. He explained that the occupation army delayed   
   providing medical aid to his brother Majd for hours before   
   administering first aid to him.   
      
   According to the Israeli newspaper Yedioth Aharonoth, the Israeli army   
   is investigating the incident of the man strapped to the army vehicle.   
      
   During the Israeli operation, which lasted for about three hours, the   
   Israeli forces set fire to a civilian vehicle that was parked in front   
   of the besieged house. Armed clashes broke out between resistance   
   fighters and the Israeli soldiers after the special forces were   
   discovered by the resistance. The soldiers fired at civilians and   
   among the houses during these clashes.   
      
   During the raid, the Jenin Brigade announced via its Telegram channel   
   that it had discovered the special forces in the Jabariyat   
   neighborhood and engaged them in battle, targeting the invading force   
   with live ammunition and locally improvised explosive devices. Later,   
   the Brigade reported that it had targeted infantry soldiers,   
   confirming that it had inflicted casualties among them.   
      
   The Israeli forces arrested three young men during the raid on the   
   neighborhood, one of whom was the injured Majd Husseiniyya. The nature   
   of his injury is still unknown. The Israeli army transported him to   
   the hospital by helicopter at the Salem checkpoint, west of the city.   
      
   The family has stated that they have received no information about   
   Majd’s whereabouts or his health condition up to this point. No   
   official authority has contacted them to inform them about his   
   condition or to where he has been transferred.   
      
   The invasion of Jenin comes one day after an undercover Israeli   
   special force riding in a civilian vehicle with a Palestinian license   
   plate assassinated a leader of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades in   
   Qalqilya. During the Qalqilya operation, the army pursued a   
   Palestinian vehicle and fired at those inside, killing resistance   
   fighters Ihab Abu Hamed and Mahmoud Mansour. Their bodies were   
   confiscated by the army.   
      
   The Israeli army has increasingly employed tactics involving special   
   forces dressed in civilian attire or using Palestinian civilian   
   vehicles to conduct raids, particularly since October 7. This   
   escalation follows a heightened presence of armed resistance in   
   northern areas of the West Bank.
