The aggression on Jenin: bulldozing and burning homes, and converting others into military barracks.

The Israeli occupation's aggression on the city of Jenin and its camp has entered its 83rd day, with continued bulldozing and burning of homes, and the conversion of others into military barracks.


Yesterday, occupation forces detained a Palestine TV crew in Jenin for five hours, assaulted and interrogated them, prevented them from covering the events, and warned them against returning to coverage in the vicinity of Jenin refugee camp.


Local sources reported that the occupation forces are continuing to destroy and demolish homes in the camp. A few days ago, they demolished a number of homes in the Al-Damj neighborhood, and their bulldozers have been paving a road in the Jouret al-Dhahab area for nearly a week.


She added that families in the Al-Hadaf neighborhood received notices from the occupation army yesterday evening requiring them to evacuate their homes for inspection and to convert them into military barracks.


She said the number of displaced persons has reached 21,000, distributed throughout the governorate. There are 6,000 in the city, 32,000 in the Arab American University dormitories, and 4,181 in Burqin.


She confirmed that meetings are ongoing with the Palestinian government and relevant ministries to provide mobile homes for displaced persons in Jenin. A plan has been approved to bring in 200 mobile homes in the first phase to accommodate the displaced.


Meanwhile, the occupation forces continue to send military reinforcements and armored vehicles into the city and camp, from the Jalameh military checkpoint to the camp's perimeter, deploying infantry forces in the Ghabz area surrounding the camp and in the Wadi Burqin area, paving and expanding roads, changing the camp's landmarks, and demolishing citizens' homes.


The Israeli occupation army continues its military training around the Jalameh military checkpoint, north of Jenin, where it occasionally fires live ammunition into the empty Jenin refugee camp.


It is estimated that 600 homes were destroyed in the camp, while nearly 3,000 housing units were rendered uninhabitable.


According to the data, the economic situation of the 21,000 displaced persons represents a new reality and challenge on the humanitarian level in Jenin, increasing the poverty rate in the Jenin community, especially with the displaced persons losing their jobs and businesses.


The death toll in the governorate has risen to 36, while the occupation continues to launch widespread raids and arrests in the governorate's villages and towns on an almost daily basis.
