that broke out in Jenin’s Refugee Camp and town of Burqin to the west, reported
local and security sources.
Sources informed WAFA that a large military force stormed Jenin’s Refugee Camp and town of Burqin to the west, raiding and searching several homes amid firing tear gas canisters and concussion grenades, spurring clashes with locals. Locals Qais Al-Sa’adi and Tha’er Jaradat were detained by the army.
