Palestinian Authority Clashes With Militants in Jenin Refugee Camp

A security operation by Palestinian forces in the West Bank city of Jenin has left at least one militant dead and 22 others injured as tensions escalate.

Palestinian Authority (PA) security forces launched a major operation in the Jenin refugee camp to reassert control over the area, a stronghold for militant groups.
At least one militant, identified as a commander of Palestinian Islamic Jihad's Jenin Brigade, was killed during exchanges of gunfire with PA forces, and 22 others were reported injured.
The operation follows rising tensions between the PA and militant factions, including Hamas and Islamic Jihad, which have criticized the PA's actions and called for protests.
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has directed security services to remain in Jenin until they regain control over the camp, which has seen frequent clashes with Israeli forces in recent years.
The conflict underscores growing friction within Palestinian territories, with similar clashes reported in other West Bank cities such as Nablus and Tulkarm in recent weeks.
