Jenin: Israeli Military Aggression Continues as Infrastructure Destroyed

Israeli occupation continues the aggression on the city of Jenin and its camp for the twenty-fourth consecutive day, killing 25 Palestinians, leaving dozens of injuries, and massive destruction of infrastructure and property.

Assistant Governor of Jenin Governorate Mansour Al-Saadi said that the occupation completely destroyed about 120 houses in Jenin camp, in addition to burning and blowing up homes and property of citizens in the neighborhoods of Al-Damj, Al-Aloub, Al-Bishr, Al-Hawashin, and Joura Al-Dhahab.

He added that the occupation forced about 20,000 civilian to flee Jenin camp, where it completely emptied it, while it continues to send military reinforcements accompanied by bulldozers to the city and the surroundings of the camp.

WAFA correspondent said that the occupation continues to pave new streets and roads deep in the camp, as it published pictures from Al-Damj neighborhood of signs placed by the occupation army along the streets written in Hebrew, whereas it is said that they are the names of streets that have been expanded or opened.

Meanwhile, Jenin Municipality crews, in cooperation with the governorate and private companies, were able to rehabilitate the street of Jenin Governmental Hospital, which the occupation bulldozers are continuously and almost daily destroying during the ongoing aggression.

According to the director of Jenin Hospital, Wissam Bakr, the hospital is still suffering from a shortage of water due to the destruction of the water networks leading to the hospital.

He added that medical staff are having difficulty entering and exiting the hospital due to the bulldozing of the street leading to it, and that the hospital departments are operating at a minimum level as citizens fear reaching the hospital, which has occupation vehicles in front of its gates on a daily basis.

In turn, the Red Crescent paramedic Murad Khamayseh said that the ambulance crews are facing difficulties in entering the camp and transporting the injured, as the occupation is obstructing their entry, adding that ambulances are facing difficulty in passing through the streets due to their complete bulldozing and destruction.

He added that the ambulance crews are trying to transport the injured in small vehicles, especially in the heavily destroyed neighborhoods.

Yesterday, three citizens were injured by the occupation forces’ bullets in Jenin camp, one of them was a 50-year-old man, while another was transferred after being assaulted.

The occupation forces detained a civilian from the eastern neighborhood after raiding one of the buildings, and detained several citizens.

Last night, the Red Crescent crews transferred a child from the Jalameh military checkpoint who was being held by the occupation forces. He is in good condition.

The occupation forces are also deployed in Marah neighborhood in the city, as a drone flew over the area, while its vehicles are stationed on the street connecting the city of Jenin and the town of Arrana, where they detained citizens’ vehicles and checked the identities of their owners, while the occupation forces stormed the town of Arraba, south of Jenin, and combed its streets.

According to the prisoners’ institutions, the number of detainees and prisoners in Jenin has reached 110 Palestinians, and this number is subject to increase on a daily basis due to the continuation of the aggression.
