Jenin - Saba:
Israeli forces continue their aggression against the city of Jenin and its camp for the 121st consecutive day, expanding their bulldozing and destruction operations inside the camp to alter its features and structure.
They continue to prevent entry and access to the camp.
The Palestinian WAFA News Agency reported that Israeli forces stormed the eastern neighborhood of Jenin this morning, Wednesday, after special forces surrounded a café and the home of Ghassan al-Saadi, the café's owner.
The Israeli enemy deployed its vehicles at the entrances to the neighborhood and near a gas station, preventing the movement of Palestinian citizens and vehicles. They arrested Ghassan al-Saadi and Iyad al-Azmi from inside the café after raiding and searching it.
At dawn on Wednesday, a young Palestinian man was wounded by Israeli bullets in the abdomen during an Israeli raid on the town of Qabatiya, south of Jenin. The Israeli enemy bulldozed the town's infrastructure, including water and electricity networks, deployed soldiers on the rooftops of houses, raided several buildings, transformed them into military barracks, and launched an arrest campaign in the town. Enemy bulldozers also destroyed civilian vehicles on the main street linking Qabatiya to the city of Jenin.
Yesterday, Tuesday, Israeli forces raided the town of Meithalun, southeast of Jenin, and set up a checkpoint on the main street at the town's entrance, obstructing the movement of Palestinian vehicles and searching them.
Yesterday, the Israeli enemy also forced a family to evacuate their home near Jenin refugee camp.
Local Palestinian estimates indicate that the Israeli enemy has paved approximately 15 roads inside Jenin camp, which is less than half a square kilometer in area. According to the Jenin Municipality, the camp's infrastructure has been completely destroyed, along with 60% of the city's infrastructure. 120 kilometers of roads, 42 kilometers of water pipelines, and 99 kilometers of sewage lines have been destroyed.
Israeli enemy forces continue to fire live ammunition intensively inside Jenin camp, despite the camp being completely empty of its residents. On Monday, enemy forces were present at the entrance to the camp, known as the Horse Roundabout.
The few images emerging from Jenin camp show unprecedented destruction of Palestinian homes, property, and infrastructure. The Israeli enemy is intensifying its military reinforcements to Jenin camp and its surroundings, and is deploying infantry units nearby.

Israeli 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. The occupation continues to fire live ammunition intensively in the camp.
