After five days of surrounding the Jenin refugee camp, PA forces raided it, exchanging fire with Jenin Brigades fighters, resulting in deaths and injuries.
The camp has been a stronghold for armed groups opposing Israel's occupation for decades, giving it that special place in many hearts and minds.
Hamas condemned the PA security forces after clashes that killed 19-year-old Palestinian Rahbi Shalabi and wounded a 16-year-old relative of his.
Jenin, one of 19 such camps in the occupied West Bank, has a high poverty and unemployment rate, compounded by ongoing conflict and crackdowns.
