[05/ March/2025]
Jenin - Saba:

The Zionist enemy on Wednesday continued its aggression on the city of Jenin and its camp for the 44th consecutive day amid military reinforcements accompanied by a stifling siege, raids on homes and the expulsion of their residents.

The Palestinian News Agency, WAFA, reported that the occupation forces sent military reinforcements to the vicinity of Jenin camp, and their military vehicles continue to be stationed in front of Jenin Governmental Hospital, and tanks are present in areas near the camp.

The occupier prevents local and international press crews from entering the camp to monitor the destruction and devastation inside it and cover the occupation's practices against its citizens.

On Tuesday, three young men were martyred in Jenin Governorate, where the young man Jihad Alawneh (21 years old) was martyred after being shot with live ammunition in the thigh in the eastern neighborhood of Jenin city, while the young man Ayser Al-Saadi was martyred after storming the Al-Ghoul building and the occupation detained his body, and from the town of Silat Al-Shahr, the young man Ahmed Mufid Al-Kilani was martyred, where the occupation soldiers shot him near the Homesh checkpoint between Jenin and Nablus.

The occupation forces withdrew from the eastern neighborhood in Jenin city after extensive destruction of the infrastructure, streets and power lines, and the occupation also blew up a residential apartment and forced a number of residents to leave their homes.

The occupation soldiers also arrested several young men from the neighborhood before their withdrawal, and among them were the brothers Saber and Islam Al-Jarbou, who were displaced from the camp to the eastern neighborhood.

The Director of the Public Relations Department in Jenin Municipality, Bashir Matahen, said that the occupation deliberately destroyed all aspects of life in Jenin camp.

He added that the municipality crews were able to enter only ten meters from the camp, and that this distance revealed very massive destruction in everything in the camp.

Matahen confirmed that the occupation redraws the camp through the coordination operations, widening the streets and closing a number of them, and all the bulldozing and destruction operations that are taking place in the camp's neighborhoods aim to end it.

Regarding the losses, Matahen said: It is difficult to count accurate numbers of losses due to the ongoing operation and the presence of occupation soldiers who prevent the crews from doing their work, noting that estimates indicate losses in basic services, streets and infrastructure estimated at millions.

So far, the occupier has displaced about 20,000 residents of Jenin camp who are distributed across about 39 towns and local authorities, and the occupation is working to change the features of the camp through systematic destruction that has affected 120 homes completely and dozens of homes partially.

While the occupation has conducted 336 raids, searches and field investigations, and drones have launched about 15 bombing operations.

The occupier closes all entrances to Jenin camp with earth mounds.

So far, the unprecedented aggression on the city and camp of Jenin has left 30 martyrs in Jenin governorate in addition to dozens of injuries, and the displacement of thousands of citizens from their homes in the camp and a number of neighborhoods in the city.
