The Israeli occupation forces continued their aggression on the city of Jenin and its camp for the 97th consecutive day, amidst bulldozing and burning homes, and converting others into military barracks.
The director of the Jenin Municipality's public relations department, Bashir Matahin, told WAFA on Sunday evening that the occupation forces forced 20 families to leave their homes in the Zahraa area near the camp, turning them into military barracks.
Matahen added that Israeli infantry forces stormed several neighborhoods and streets in the city, terrorizing residents, and raiding and searching dozens of homes, without any arrests being reported.
He pointed out that the occupation forces are continuing their demolition operations inside the camp amid a complete blackout, noting that the occupation forces have completely destroyed about 600 homes, and that the remaining homes in the camp have been partially destroyed and are no longer habitable. He also noted that the camp has been surrounded by four iron barriers (gates) and earth mounds, and has been transformed into a closed military zone that is prohibited to approach.
Al-Matahen stated that the number of displaced people from the camp and the city has exceeded 22,000, and that the number of homes that were forcibly evacuated in the city has reached 380 homes, noting that the Al-Jabariyat area, Al-Shaheeda Shireen Abu Akleh Street, and Wadi Burqin (housing buildings) have been completely evacuated, in addition to the entire camp’s homes, which number 3,470 homes, and partial evacuation in the Al-Zahraa neighborhood and Khallet Al-Ghabash areas.
Since the beginning of the occupation's aggression on the city of Jenin and its camp, 39 citizens have been martyred, dozens have been wounded, and dozens have been arrested.
