L’agression sioniste contre la ville de Jénine et son camp se poursuit pour le 63e jour consécutif
RAMALLAH – Ongoing Violence in Jenin: A Report on Recent Events
For over two months, the city of Jenin and its refugee camp in the occupied West Bank have faced continuous aggression from Israeli occupation forces. This incursion, which has persisted for 63 consecutive days, has resulted in the deaths of 34 Palestinian individuals and left many others injured, according to reports from the Palestinian news agency Wafa.
In a recent dawn raid, Israeli forces targeted the village of Silat al-Harithiya, located west of Jenin, detaining three Palestinian residents. The ongoing military operations have led to the arrest of at least 230 Palestinians since the start of this recent violence in the Jenin governorate and its camp, further exacerbating tensions in the region.
Additionally, the occupation forces have dispatched military reinforcements, including bulldozers, to the Jenin camp. Infrastructure work, such as road widening and paving, continues in the area, raising concerns among local inhabitants. The Israeli military maintains a strategy of using live ammunition around the camp, with an increased presence of soldiers and frequent drone surveillance over Jenin and its refugee camp.
Displacement has become a severe issue, with approximately 21,000 people forced to leave their homes, spreading across the city of Jenin and surrounding villages. The municipal authorities have indicated that the occupation forces have issued demolition orders for around 66 buildings, impacting roughly 300 homes within the camp and various districts of the governorate.
The physical toll on the region is profound, as nearly all streets in the camp have been destroyed, and about 80% of streets in Jenin city have been similarly affected. Reports indicate that 3,200 homes within the camp have been rendered uninhabitable, displacing countless residents in a region already burdened by years of conflict.
The situation in Jenin serves as a stark reminder of the ongoing hostilities and humanitarian crisis resulting from the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, underlining struggles for stability, security, and the right to housing among those affected.
