JENIN (Palestine Foundation Information Center) The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) carried out new demolition operations in Jenin and its refugee camp in the northern occupied West Bank for the 48th day.
The IOF armored vehicles stormed Burqin town, southwest of Jenin, after deciding to expand its military operation in the northern West Bank.
Palestinian activists affirmed that more military reinforcements were sent to the Jenin camp, including Merkava tanks, armored personnel carriers, and bulldozers.
Massive destruction was left in Jenin camp, especially in Al-Samran neighborhood, in addition to the ongoing burning and destruction of local homes.
The media committee of Jenin camp reported that the occupation army blew up a house in the Daba Al-Ghabz area.
Media sources affirmed that the Israeli army has completely destroyed about 480 homes since the beginning of its aggression on Jenin camp.
Several homes were also turned into military barracks, while about 18,000 residents were forced to flee the camp amid worsening humanitarian conditions, the sources added.
The sources pointed out that a number of families are still in Jenin camp suffering from a severe shortage of food and basic needs for children.
The Israeli forces have been in Jenin for more than 40 days now and destroyed three refugee camps in Jenin and Tulkarem.
There is now more focus on Nablus. The Israeli army has been moving from the northern tip of the West Bank to the south.
