WEST BANK (Palestine Foundation Information Center) The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) deployed military reinforcements and bulldozers to the Jenin refugee camp in the northern West Bank on Thursday, escalating their campaign of destruction in the area.
Local sources reported that the IOF, accompanied by bulldozers, moved from the Al-Jalama military checkpoint toward the camp, preparing to carry out the demolition of homes previously marked for destruction earlier this week.
On Monday evening, the Israeli occupation announced its intention to demolish 95 homes in various parts of the Jenin camp, particularly in the western quarter and along Al-Sikka and Abdullah Azzam streets.
According to Jenin Municipality, the IOF demolished around 600 homes — either partially or completely — inside the besieged camp since the latest wave of aggression began on January 21.
Northern West Bank refugee camps, especially Jenin, Tulkarem, and Nur Shams, have seen a sharp rise in Israeli assaults, displacing over 50,000 residents so far. The destruction of homes, infrastructure, and public facilities continues amid growing fears of a broader plan to permanently alter the identity and layout of these camps and erase their historical and social fabric.
