Israeli occupation continues its aggression on Jenin: injuries, burning of homes, and destruction of infrastructure
Five citizens were injured, Thursday evening, as the Israeli occupation's aggression on the city of Jenin and its camp continued for the third consecutive day.
The Palestinian Red Crescent Society reported that its crews transferred three injuries from the Jalameh military checkpoint as a result of the occupation forces assaulting them with beatings, while it dealt with two injuries from live bullet shrapnel in one of the shelters for the displaced from Jenin camp, and they were transferred to the hospital.
The occupation forces detained a number of citizens in the Al-Kharouba neighborhood, after raiding the house of the Al-Qat family, and subjected them to field interrogation.
In Jenin camp, local sources reported that the occupation forces burned homes belonging to the Masharqa family, and prevented civil defense crews from reaching the site to extinguish the fire.
The sources added that the family was displaced from their homes yesterday, while an elderly citizen living on the ground floor of the home of citizen Walid Masharqa was unable to leave due to her health condition and her inability to walk long distances, as the family appealed for the necessity of evacuating her immediately.
The occupation forces also forced the family of citizen Ahmed Abu Al-Haija to evacuate their home on Mahyoub Street in the camp, and turned it into a military barracks.
The occupation imposed a curfew on the citizens inside the camp after forcing hundreds of families to leave their homes under threat of arms and by force, and opened a single passage through which citizens were forced to pass through cameras to check their eye and face prints, until they reached the Return Roundabout west of the camp, and imposed a tight siege on it and closed its entrances, amid threats to demolish and bulldoze a number of homes.
The occupation forces cut off electricity to Jenin camp and large parts of its surroundings, which led to a power outage in Jenin Governmental Hospital and Ibn Sina Hospital. They also prevented the electricity company crews from working to repair the network.
The occupation's aggression on the city of Jenin, its camp, and the town of Burqin, west of the city, resulted in the death of 12 citizens and the injury of dozens of others, and caused massive destruction to the infrastructure.
