West Bank: Israeli forces leave behind massive infrastructure destruction

The Israeli occupation army withdrew, at dawn on Thursday, from the city of Jenin and its camp, after an aggression that lasted for about 15 hours, leaving behind massive destruction to the infrastructure.


The Director of Public Relations in Jenin Municipality, Bashir Matahin, told WAFA that the occupation bulldozers had re-destroyed what had been rehabilitated during the penultimate incursion into the city and camp, which lasted 10 days.


He explained that the occupation bulldozers destroyed the entrance to the eastern neighborhood, Al-Bayader roundabout, the Al-Madaris Street area, the entrances to Jenin camp, the Al-Hisan roundabout area, Al-Hadaf, Al-Awda roundabout, Al-Naseem roundabout, Al-Jabriyat Street, and the eastern housing street, which led to the destruction of water lines and sewage networks, and the power outage in the targeted areas.


Matahen pointed out that the occupation forces destroyed the main water line leading to Jenin Governmental Hospital, which needs more than 60 cups of water daily, noting that the municipality crews will provide the hospital with water tanks so that they can repair the line.


He pointed out that the occupation deliberately destroyed the streets in the eastern neighborhood in the area of Khalid bin Al-Walid Mosque Street, buried the entrances to the houses with dirt, dug the street to a depth of more than a meter, and destroyed the walls of the houses and the cemetery of the eastern neighborhood, pointing out that the majority of the areas it destroyed had been rehabilitated by the municipality and the lines repaired after the end of the last aggression.


In turn, the head of the Popular Committee in Jenin Camp, Major General Muhammad Al-Sabbagh, confirmed that the occupation had re-destroyed the infrastructure in several streets inside the camp, and destroyed the main water lines feeding the camp, which led to its being cut off from citizens’ homes.


He pointed out that the occupation stormed dozens of homes inside the camp and destroyed their contents, and also blew up the home of the young man Qais Al-Saadi, and conducted a field investigation with the young men and residents inside the homes.


He stressed that the repeated raids on the city of Jenin and its camp, and the destruction of the infrastructure, aim to displace the citizens from the camp, and create an unlivable environment in it, but their determination is high and they are steadfast in their land.


It is noteworthy that, in conjunction with the occupation's storming of the city of Jenin and its camp, it carried out several raids in the villages and towns of the governorate, including Anza, Yamoun, and Burqin, which resulted in the martyrdom of a female citizen and the injury of four others in Anza, and the arrest of a young man, in addition to the arrest of another young man in the town of Yamoun.
