Fierce clashes broke out in the city between the soldiers and Palestinian militants. The soldiers fired missiles at Hazem’s house and traded fire with the militants.
The regime army spokesman said that, an Israeli army force was carrying out regular military activity in the city of Jenin, to demolish the house of Hazem.
