The Israeli forces broke into Tammoun village to the east of Jenin and destroyed the house of Muhammad Besharat, the "Islamic Jihad" official in the village said.

The Israeli forces also launched a mopping up operations in the cities and villages of the West Bank during which seven Palestinians were arrested including two members of the Hamas resistance movement and Muhammad Manaserah, one member of the Fatah movement in Bani Naem village, in al-Khalil under the pretext of resisting the occupation.
