Jenin - Saba:
Villages in Jenin Governorate are witnessing almost daily incursions as the Israeli aggression against the city and camp continues. Daily military movements are recorded in most villages of the governorate, along with a constant presence of Israeli patrols and vehicles.
Enemy forces also continue to completely close off Jenin Camp and prevent access to it, while bulldozing and destroying it continues, aiming to alter its structure and features. According to Jenin Municipality estimates, approximately 600 homes have been completely demolished in the camp, while the rest have been partially damaged and rendered uninhabitable. Jenin City is also witnessing significant damage to facilities, homes, and infrastructure, particularly in the eastern neighborhood and the Al-Hadaf neighborhood.
Israeli forces continue to send additional military reinforcements toward the camp and its surroundings, while infantry units are deployed daily in several neighborhoods.
Families from the camp, along with hundreds of families from the city and its surroundings, remain forcibly displaced. The Jenin Municipality indicates that the number of displaced persons from the camp and city has exceeded 22,000.
The economic situation in Jenin is further deteriorating, with heavy commercial losses recorded as a result of the aggression. This has led to the closure of many shops and a decline in shopping traffic entering the city from outside. This has also led to bulldozing and destruction of infrastructure and streets, and the damage to a large number of shops, 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 Israeli aggression on the city and camp on January 21, 40 Palestinians have been killed, along with dozens more injured and arrested.
