The Jenin Battalion of the armed wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad says its fighters are battling the Israeli forces in what it called “the merging axis” in the occupied West Bank city, Al Jazeera reports.

Fighters “are showering the occupation forces with heavy volleys of bullets, achieving direct hits”, it said on Telegram.

“Our fighters were able to detonate a pre-prepared explosive device in a D9 military bulldozer in the merging axis, achieving confirmed injuries among the bulldozer crew,” the group added.
