In Jenin, the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) blew up on Sunday evening four neighborhoods in Jenin refugee camp, destroying dozens of homes.
Local sources said that the IOF brought large shipments of explosives into Jenin camp and placed them inside several homes in different neighborhoods before detonating them.
