Palestine: IDF injure dozens and bulldoze buildings in anti-PIJ/Hamas raid

Dozens of people were wounded after Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) and Gazan resistance fighters exchanged gunfire and shelling in Jenin in the occupied West Bank, leaving several of the city’s buildings in ruins, Tuesday. Some 40 Israeli army vehicles raided the house of Palestine Islamic Jihad’s (PIJ) senior commander, Bassam al-Saeedi, in the al-Hadaf neighbourhood, sparking the violence on Monday night. On not finding al-Saeedi, IDF members went on to arrest local Hamas representative Majdi Abu al-Heija along with his brother. Palestinians responded by firing at the Israeli troops, who went on to injure many of the fighters and later bulldoze al-Heija’s homes.
