Janez Lenarcic European Union’s commissioner for crisis management has condemned the Israeli army for killing civilians and causing massive destruction in Jenin.
“The use of force in Jenin refugee camp has resulted in tragic loss of life of civilians and children damage to essential infrastructure and displacement” Lenarcic said in Twitter remarks on Tuesday.
“International humanitarian law must be respected at all times” he added.
The Israeli occupation forces started withdrawing last night from the Jenin refugee camp in the occupied West Bank. Hundreds of Israeli troops stormed the camp on Monday and Tuesday in the biggest raid in the territory since the second intifada (uprising) ended in 2005.
The Israeli military aggression in Jenin— which killed at least 12 Palestinians injured more than 140 forced about 500 families to flee and destroyed homes roads and infrastructure — is believed to be part of a large-scale operation targeting Palestinian resistance fighters in the West Bank.
