JENIN (Palestine Foundation Information Center) Israeli occupation forces (IOF) shot and killed a Palestinian child on Friday evening in the Jenin refugee camp, north of the West Bank.
The Ministry of Health reported the martyrdom of the girl Rimas Omar Amouri (13 years old) in IOF shooting in the Jenin camp. Local sources said that the occupation forces deliberately fired at the girl in the vicinity of the Jabriyat neighborhood, critically injuring her. She succumbed to her injuries a while later.
The Israeli occupation forces continue their extensive aggression on Jenin and its camp for 32 days, resulting in martyrs, injuries, and unprecedented destruction of homes and infrastructure. Dozens of IOF soldiers in military vehicles are stationed around Jenin Hospital and Al-Amal Hospital, checking citizens’ identities and interrogating them as they move in the area. Hospitals in Jenin are suffering from a severe shortage of water after the IOF targeted and destroyed water lines, with about 35% of the city’s residents lacking access to water.
The occupation forces have converted buildings around the Jenin camp into military barracks since the beginning of the aggression, while continuing to send military reinforcements and bulldozers to the Al-Basatin neighborhood in Jenin city.
The IOF has forcibly displaced about 3,000 families from the Jenin camp from their homes, while more than 120 homes have been completely demolished, amid widespread destruction of streets and infrastructure.
Meanwhile, citizens suffered from suffocation due to inhaling teargas fired by the occupation forces during their raid on the village of Tal, southwest of Nablus, as well as the town of Beita and the village of Qaryut to the south. The occupation forces fired live bullets, sound bombs, and teargas canisters during their incursion into Beita, Qaryut, and Tal, resulting in several citizens suffering from suffocation. They were treated on-site.
For their part, Jewish settlers burned a vehicle and attacked citizens’ property, writing racist slogans against Arabs east of Yatta. Settlers infiltrated the Abu Shaban area east of Yatta, torched a vehicle, and wrote inciting and racist slogans against Palestinians and Arabs. This area has faced numerous attacks from settlers and Israeli occupation forces, including the demolition of several homes and a school, in addition to chasing shepherds in the pastures and destroying agricultural crops.
Settlers also gathered at the intersection near the Karma’il settlement built on the lands of Masafer Yatta, where they closed the gate leading to the villages of Masafer, preventing citizens from passing through.
In a related context, settlers burned an agricultural room and attacked citizens’ property in the village of Kafr Qaddum east of Qalqilya, and attacked an agricultural land planted with olive trees.
