Jenin - Saba:
The Israeli occupation army continues to expand its bulldozing and destruction operations inside Jenin Camp, altering its features and obliterating its identity. It continues to prevent entry and access to the camp.
The Jenin Municipality estimates that, as the aggression enters its 114th day, Israeli occupation authorities have completely demolished approximately 600 homes in the camp, while the rest have been partially damaged and rendered uninhabitable. Meanwhile, the enemy continues to fire live ammunition intensively in the camp.
The Palestinian WAFA News Agency reported that the effects of the Israeli aggression were not limited to the camp alone, but extended to the city of Jenin, causing extensive damage to facilities, homes, and infrastructure, especially in the eastern neighborhood and the Al-Hadaf neighborhood.
The report noted that, as the aggression continues, families from the camp, as well as hundreds of families from the city and its surrounding areas, are still being forcibly displaced. The Jenin Municipality indicates that the number of displaced persons from the camp and the city has exceeded 22,000.
The economic situation in Jenin is also deteriorating, with massive commercial losses resulting from the aggression estimated at approximately $300 million so far. Many shops have been forced to close due to bulldozing and the destruction of infrastructure and streets, especially in the western neighborhoods, which are experiencing near-total economic paralysis. This is in addition to the decline in shopping traffic coming into the city from outside.
On the ground, villages in Jenin Governorate are witnessing almost daily raids as the aggression against the city and camp continues. Daily raids are being recorded in most villages in the governorate, alongside a constant presence of Israeli patrols and vehicles.
This morning, Israeli enemy forces arrested four Palestinian youths from Anza and Meithalun, south of Jenin. The enemy patrolled the streets of the Interior Roundabout and the camp's surroundings, particularly near Jenin Governmental Hospital. The Israeli enemy also stormed the town of Silat al-Harithiya and fired live ammunition at Palestinian civilians.
Since the beginning of the Israeli aggression on the city and camp on January 21, 40 Palestinians have been killed, in addition to dozens of injuries and arrests.
