Israeli forces press ahead with violent raid on Jenin for tenth day
For the tenth day in a row, the Israeli forces continued with aggression against the occupied West Bank city of Jenin and its refugee camp where more than a dozen have been killed and several more injured due to IOF atrocities.
The mayor of Jenin, Muhammad Jarar, said that the occupation demolished a large number of citizens' homes in Jenin refugee camp and in nearby neighborhoods.
The aggression on the camp and the city also caused a complete power outage in the camp, and a severe shortage of water, as water was cut off from about 35% of the city's and camp's neighborhoods due to damage to the Sa'ada well, which is the main well in the city.
He added that the occupation deliberately destroyed citizens' properties and shops, and that food supplies began to run out in a number of the city's neighborhoods.
Jarar said that the occupation is still completely besieging Jenin camp and parts of the city, especially around the camp.
Citizen Yaish Rabaya was also injured after being severely beaten by the occupation forces during the storming of the town of Meithalun, east of Jenin, while the occupation forces detained his son, Muhammad Rabaya, after raiding his house in the town.
The occupation forces stormed the village of Bir al-Basha, south of Jenin and surrounded the house of the young man Ihab Ghawadra and arrested him from inside the house, as well as two other young men from the house.
The withdrawal of some occupation vehicles from neighborhoods in Jenin camp and its surroundings revealed massive destruction to citizens' homes and property, infrastructure, and the electricity network. The destruction appeared in the neighborhoods of Al-Aloub, Al-Hadaf, and Al-Damj. The occupation also bulldozed the neighborhood of Jourat Al-Dhahab and opened a street in it.
The occupation continues to obstruct the arrival of ambulances to Jenin Governmental Hospital. The occupation prevented a sick woman from reaching the hospital and the occupation soldiers interrogated her and prevented the Red Crescent crews from reaching her on the hospital street, which led to her losing consciousness.
The occupation continues to send military reinforcements from the Jalameh checkpoint to the city and the camp's surroundings, while occupation soldiers blew up new homes in the camp's Al-Bashar neighborhood.
The Director of the Palestinian Post, Muhammad Al-Ahmad, said in a statement that in light of the ongoing closures in the city of Jenin, the post office continues to provide stamp services related to passports, IDs, travel permits, and postal services provided in the offices of Araba, Qabatiya, and Barta'a, in addition to providing postal services in the offices spread throughout the governorate.
