(MENAFN) For the eighth consecutive day, Israeli forces have intensified their aggression in the city of Jenin and its refugee camp, resulting in 16 martyrs, dozens of injuries, arrests, forced evictions, and widespread destruction. Around 100 homes within the camp have been burned or destroyed, while the Occupation continues to systematically destroy infrastructure and block ambulance and civil defense teams from entering the area.
On Tuesday, Israeli forces forced Palestinians living at the entrance to the eastern part of Jenin’s camp to evacuate their homes. According to the Popular Committee for Camp Services, the soldiers raided homes in the Al-Hussan roundabout area and demanded the residents evacuate as parts of their homes are set to be demolished. Bulldozers have also been used to open new roads within the camp, particularly on Mahyoub Street, and to destroy infrastructure in neighborhoods such as Al-Hawashin and Alub. Military reinforcements have been deployed from the Jalameh checkpoint, while drones continue to fly over the area.
In addition to the destruction, Israeli forces arrested 25 Palestinians from various locations across the West Bank, including former detainees. The Palestinian Prisoners and Ex-Detainees Affairs Commission reported that the arrests occurred in the governorates of Tulkarm, Hebron, Nablus, Ramallah, Bethlehem, and Jerusalem. This comes amidst continued military operations in Jenin and Tulkarm, marked by widespread abuse and destruction of homes and infrastructure.
Furthermore, Israeli forces issued demolition notices for seven houses in the village of Furush Beit Dajan, located east of Nablus. The head of the village council stated that the homes have stood for decades, and the village has recently faced an unprecedented wave of demolitions, with at least 40 demolition notices given in the past month alone. This includes the destruction of 10 agricultural ponds and 4 residential homes.
