The people of Palestine and the combatants of the National Resistance Front of Palestine resist heroically since weeks against a large offensive carried out against the West Bank. The Palestinian Authority (PA) lead by Fatah, in collusion with the State of Israel has been besieging Jenin and imposing very harsh conditions on the civil population, detaining and murdering its own population. The siege on Jenin is complete, “with electricity and water cut off, while food and medical supplies have been blocked”. Nowadays 14,000 residents are facing severe shortages of almost everything they need and restrictions to movement. Additionally several journalists of the area who wanted to report about the PA crimes, have been illegally detained and tortured.

During these weeks the PA has been also detaining other Palestinians across West Bank, for example they besieged the house of a resistance activist from Tubas, northern West Bank and attempted to detain him:

But the resistance is fiercely combating and the PA repressive forces have been unable to take over Jenin. At least 78 resistance operations reportedly have taken place in West Bank and Jerusalem only from 10 until 16 January.

The State of Israel also has been launching its attacks on West Bank. This week the Israelis bombarded the Jenin Refugee Camp murdering six Palestinians, among them one child. So far, at least 858 Palestinians have been murdered and over 6,700 have been injured in West Bank. 22 Palestinians have been detained in several areas in a recent wave of Israeli military raids. The latest arrests brought the number of Palestinians detained by the Israeli army in the West Bank since October 2023 to over 14,300. There are reports which points out the focus of the State of Israel on West Bank: Palestine Chronicle reported yesterday that the Israeli army Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi ordered the deployment of two additional battalions to the West Bank, increasing the total to 20 battalions.

The Israeli settlers have been also part of the attacks on West Bank: recently the Defense Minister Israel Katz has announced the release of settlers under administrative detention. The settlers have been also attacking during last week: on Wednesday night, illegal settlers attacked the villages of Qasra and Burin, south of Nablus. Several residents struggled and repelled the attack on homes on the outskirts of the two villages.

Facing this joint onslaught by the Israelis and the traitors of Fatah, the Palestinian resistance has carried out many actions and is heroically combating. In Qabatiya an explosive device caused three injured among the Israeli soldiers:

An armored truck of the PA forces has been destroyed:

The latest operation has been done in Tel Aviv, where Palestinian combatants attacked Israeli settlers, eliminating one and injuring two more:

Yesterday a ceasefire was announced in Jenin, in which the Palestinian resistance was victorious once more since it does not hand over any combatant and the PA has to retreat from several areas and lift the siege on Jenin, being this a new humiliation for the enemies of the resistance. But just few hours later the traitors of Fatah proved which kind of people they are: the Jenin resistance combatants stated that the PA forces are not retreating and the siege is still ongoing.

Recently the PA has stated that is ready to govern Gaza after the ceasefire and even US imperialism think tanks are pointing out that the PA is key to “bring stability” to West Bank and “perhaps, pave the way for PA rule in postwar Gaza”. The sinister plan of Fatah is to make ‘merits’ of blood, slaughtering the people of Palestine and thus propose itself as the watchdog of the genocidal Zionists and Yankee imperialism in the area. They want to prove that they can suffocate the Palestinian resistance in the West Bank, so to prove that they can be useful for their evil masters, and thus present themselves as an option for the (mainly) Yankee-rule over Gaza. But Yankee imperialism and its henchmen should be aware of a fundamental point: the Palestinian resistance, the people of Palestine and the peoples of Middle East will not surrender, and the resistance will continue.
