Fierce Palestinian resistance against the biggest Israeli offensive in West Bank

Between August 27 and August 28 the State of Israel started one of its biggest genocidal operations in West Bank, murdering 10 Palestinians in just few hours. So far, according to the Health Ministry of Palestine, there are 26 Palestinians murdered since the beginning of this operation. There are troops in Jenin, Tulkarem, Nablus, Hebron, northern Jerusalem… it seems to be a general offensive on West Bank as a whole. This operation is the biggest one since the “Operation Defensive Shield” launched in 2002 in the framework of the Second Intifada. Among many other crimes, the Israeli troops have used children as human shields, as well they shot them with live ammunition. Meanwhile Yankee imperialism through its vice-president and candidate by the ‘Democrat’ party, Kamala Harris, has the shamelessness to refer to Hamas and say that it ‘must be eliminated’ and condemn the death of six Israeli prisoners of war, in the wake of the new genocidal offensive in West Bank.
The Israeli troops are also raiding Hebron, harassing the Palestinians and recently they wanted to close the Ibrahimi Mosque and prevent the access for the Palestinians. For that purpose they even covered the area with snipers.
The Palestinian resistance is responding to such attacks and hitting the Israeli troops. This dawn three Israeli police officers have been eliminated at a checkpoint near to Hebron:
Among many other crimes, the Israeli troops are harassing the medical services which are working in West Bank these days:
There are also footage of Israeli troops looting all kind of goods from the Palestinians of the West Bank:
The Palestinian resistance has been carrying out several strikes against the State of Israel, for example in Gush Etzion and Karmei Tzur, illegal Israeli settlements near to Bethlehem, between Friday and Saturday. In the attack they used several car-bombs and shot. One Israeli commander, one soldier and several settlers were wounded.
But the struggle is becoming specially harsh in Jenin. The Israelis are attempting to massively expel the Palestinians from their lands: bulldozers are being used extensively to destroy the houses of the Palestinian people; 70 per cet of the roads have been destoryed, as well 80 per cent of the water supply has been cut; even the cemeteries hare being destroyed:
The resistance has been targeting those bulldozers and many of them have been destroyed by using improvised explosive devices:
There are many reports of soldiers eliminated in Jenin, where the clashes are being much more intense and where the Israeli attacks have been the most intense among the ones done in this operation. 16 Palestinians have been killed only in Jenin during the past five days. There are also footage from Jenin in which Israeli troops can be seen being evacuated:
In this city there have been strong clashes and recently Al-Quds Brigades report on explosive devices targeting infantry Israeli troops and causing several injured among them:
Additionally, the Al-Quds Brigades have announced that their troops have targeted Israeli military vehicles and soldiers also in Tubas, by using five explosive devices. They have also eliminated and injured an undetermined number of Israeli troops in Tulkarem by using six explosive devices, as well they have injured an undetermined number of Israeli troops in Jenin by using 15 explosive devices.
This Israeli offensive is proving that despite the Israelis think they will be able to expel the people of Palestine from their lands, all their military means are not enough, and their troops and vehicles are being rejected by the Palestinians. The people resist and the more military, troops and repression, is sent by Israel, the more casualties it will suffer in its offensive.
