JENIN, (PIC)
Israeli occupation forces (IOF) continue their assault on the city of Jenin and its refugee camp for the 97th consecutive day on Sunday, carrying out raids, incursions, arrests, and forced evacuations of homes.
At dawn on Sunday, the IOF stormed the town of Al-Yamoun, west of Jenin, and fired illumination flares into the sky, and arrested young men Yousef Ahmad Abu Naim, Mohammad Hassan Abu Naim, and Yazan Amjad Abu Al-Rub after raiding the town of Misliya, south of the city.
The Jenin Media Committee reported that Israeli forces raised the Israeli flag on the Nagnaghiya family’s building at the southern entrance of Jenin Camp.
In a press statement, the committee explained that the IOF raided more than 17 homes and buildings in the Al-Zahraa neighborhood and around the government hospital in Jenin City, forcing residents to evacuate them by force.
In recent days, the Israeli army has also deployed military reinforcements and set up iron gates at the entrances of Jenin Camp, aiming to isolate the camp and tighten the noose around its residents.
According to the committee’s statement, occupation forces are spread across various neighborhoods of Jenin city and camp, bringing in additional reinforcements alongside ongoing raids, and have turned several homes into military posts.
So far, the IOF assault on Jenin and its camp has resulted in the martyrdom of 40 citizens, the displacement of 21,000 people, and the destruction of 3,250 housing units either completely, partially, or by arson. Additionally, 93 residential buildings, comprising around 300 housing units, are slated for demolition by the IOF.
Since the beginning of the wide-scale aggression, Jenin and its camp have witnessed 318 arrests, in addition to dozens subjected to field interrogations.
The committee called for urgent intervention to rescue the citizens from the ongoing suffering caused by the continuous aggression, stressing the need to support the people, strengthen their resilience, and provide their immediate needs.
