JENIN (Palestine Foundation Information Center) The media committee in the Jenin refugee camp said that the brutal Israeli aggression on the city and its camp in the northern occupied West Bank has entered its second month on Thursday, accompanied by raids and pursuits carried out by the Palestinian Authority’s (PA) security forces against the homes of resistance fighters.
The committee reported in a statement that the Israeli aggression on Jenin and its refugee camp has resulted in the martyrdom of 26 citizens, injuries to dozens, and the forced displacement of thousands of citizens.
It pointed out that Jenin has witnessed multiple field events over the past 24 hours, the most notable being the injury of a 50-year-old Palestinian woman who was shot in the chest and abdomen by the occupation forces near the Al-Awda roundabout at the western entrance of the Jenin camp and was transferred to the hospital for treatment.
The committee added that occupation forces have sent additional reinforcements to the Jenin camp and prevented the displaced from entering after coordination between the Palestinian liaison and the occupation to allow them to return to their homes to gather their belongings.
Furthermore, occupation forces arrested a group of young men while they were attempting to return to their homes in the Jenin camp.
Israeli forces also stormed the town of Yabad, southwest of Jenin city, during which confrontations occurred with young men who threw stones and empty bottles at the occupation troops.
According to the media committee’s statement, occupation forces arrested a group of citizens from Jenin city, but their identities have not been confirmed at the time of this report, and details will be published later.
The statement added, “At the same time, the PA security forces continue to intensify their activities in Jenin city and its villages, carrying out raids and pursuits against young men and ‘wanted’ individuals, as part of their efforts to support the occupation army in eliminating resistance.”
