For the past three months, the displaced girl has been repeatedly visiting the buffer zone near her family's home, located within the city limits of Jenin and adjacent to the besieged camp. She feels grief and sadness over being expelled from their home and prevented from returning for about a month.
Twelve-year-old Tishreen told a Quds correspondent that her family lives in the house from which she was displaced six years ago. She has lived the most beautiful days of her life there, filled with memories and happy moments.
She added: "Suddenly, our lives changed and turned into suffering and torment from the moment the occupation forces raided their home, constantly making their lives miserable and turning them upside down."
She continued, "Not a period of time goes by without the occupation forces raiding our home. We have lost our sense of security and stability, and we are constantly gripped by fear and anxiety."
These practices, despite their impact on their lives, made them cling to their homes, insist on living there, and endure the harsh conditions and suffering.
Tishreen adds, "The great disaster that turned our lives into hell began when we prepared everything for the holy month of Ramadan. Then the occupation forces stormed the building we live in, raided our home, and demanded that we evacuate immediately.
With difficulty, Tishreen continued speaking to the Al-Quds correspondent, fighting back tears as she stopped in front of the Al-Qanari building where her family's home is located on the fourth floor. "Without justification or reason, we were surprised by heavily armed soldiers surrounding the building located at the main entrance to Jenin camp. They asked us to leave immediately," she said.
She added, "My father refused to leave and told them our house is located within the city limits of Jenin, but they threatened to kill him if he did not leave."
What Tishreen and her family experienced is typical of the suffering of dozens of families forced to leave their homes, despite their homes being located within the Jenin municipality. While the occupation forces and bulldozers continued to destroy infrastructure, streets, and demolish homes and businesses inside Jenin camp, the aggression extended to areas within the city limits.
Tishreen says, "I consider the period of our displacement and homelessness to be the most difficult days of my life. What law allows me to be close to our home, which is only a few meters away, and which I cannot reach and live a normal life like other people?"
Like other displaced people who were forcibly uprooted and displaced by the occupation, Tishreen can only be patient and pray to God to relieve their distress and stop the aggression against Jenin and its camp.
