Jenin (UNA/WAFA) – The Israeli occupation forces continued their aggression on the city of Jenin and its camp for the 113th consecutive day, destroying what remains of homes and private infrastructure in the camp with the aim of changing its features, while continuing to prevent entry or access to it.
This morning, Monday, Israeli occupation forces abused a young man at the entrance to Jenin camp after detaining him and tying his hands.
Israeli occupation forces stormed the home of Imad al-Saadi in the al-Jabariyat neighborhood, and continued to completely seal off Jenin camp, preventing access to it. Meanwhile, bulldozing and destruction operations continue inside the camp, aiming to alter its structure and features. According to Jenin Municipality estimates, approximately 600 homes were completely demolished in the camp, while the rest were partially damaged and rendered uninhabitable. Meanwhile, the occupation forces continue to fire live ammunition intensively in the camp.
Extensive damage was also caused to facilities, homes, and infrastructure, especially in the eastern and Al-Hadaf neighborhoods.
The occupation forces continue to send additional military reinforcements towards the camp and its surroundings, while the city witnesses the daily deployment of infantry units in several neighborhoods.
Families from the camp, along with hundreds of families from the city and its surrounding areas, remain forcibly displaced to this day. The Jenin Municipality reports that the number of displaced persons from the camp and the city has exceeded 22.
The economic situation in Jenin is further deteriorating, with massive commercial losses recorded as a result of the aggression. This aggression has led to the closure of many shops, a decline in shopping traffic coming into the city from outside, and bulldozing and destroying infrastructure and streets. A large number of shops have been damaged, especially in the western neighborhoods, which are experiencing near-total economic paralysis. The aggression has caused losses initially estimated at more than $300 million.
Since the start of the assault on the city and camp on January 21, 40 people have been killed, along with dozens more injured and arrested.
Yesterday evening, the occupation forces stormed the towns of Araba, Arbouna, Jalqamus and Arrana in Jenin Governorate.
Villages in Jenin Governorate are witnessing near-daily raids as the aggression against the city and camp continues. Daily military movements are being recorded in most of the governorate's villages, along with the constant presence of Israeli patrols and vehicles.
