WAFA correspondent said a large army force, accompanied by a bulldozer, stormed the Jenin refugee camp as snipers occupied rooftops, and the bulldozer proceeded to destroy the roads and infrastructure.

Clashes broke out, during which the Israeli occupation forces opened live fire at the Palestinians and fired a missile into a group of people in the camp, killing seven and injuring 13 others, including a paramedic, the correspondent added.

According to WAFA, the Palestinian Red Crescent Society said the occupation forces targeted an ambulance in Jenin and injured one of its officers with a bullet in the back while preventing medical teams from entering the camp to reach the injured.

Israeli occupying forces' reinforcements continue to arrive in Jenin and its refugee camp amid the intensive presence of Israeli aircraft over the city and the camp.

On day 34 of the Israeli war on Gaza, Israeli airstrikes continued to pound the strip as occupation soldiers battled street-by-street with Hamas fighters, and tens of thousands of Palestinians desperate for safety continued to flee their homes southwards in the besieged territory.
