The Israeli occupation pursues its aggression on the city of Jenin and its camp unabated for the ninth consecutive day, leaving 17 martyred, in addition to dozens of injuries and arrests, amid a widespread campaign of destruction of property and infrastructure.
This includes the burning, demolition, and bulldozing of citizens' homes and properties in the camp's neighborhoods.

In one instance, Israeli occupation forces demolished Hamza Mosque on Mahyoub Street in Jenin, while a drone bombed a site on the Cinema Roundabout.
The IOF prevented the ambulance crews from reaching the casualties and even detained an ambulance in the industrial zone in the city and obstructed the mission of ambulance crews on the main roundabout in the center of Jenin.
The IOF assaulted two Palestinian citizens near the Jalameh checkpoint, north of Jenin, injuring them, and arrested a Palestinian youth at dawn today from the al-Bayader neighborhood.
The Ministry of Health announced today the martyrdom of Palestinian youth Osama Omar Abu al-Haija, 25, from last night’s Israeli aggression on the Cinema Roundabout area in Jenin.
Meanwhile, the IOF continue to send military reinforcements from the Jalameh military checkpoint to the city of Jenin and the surroundings of its camp amid the deployment of small-sized equipment and bulldozers yesterday, Tuesday, to facilitate their entry into the narrow alleys of the camp and to pave roads in the area.
Israeli bulldozers also opened roads deep inside the camp after demolishing citizens’ homes and bulldozing them, as well as widening the streets inside it. The IOF also forced citizens out of their homes in the eastern area of the camp, known as the Hisan roundabout.
The Israeli occupation also destroyed the infrastructure and streets around Al-Zahraa School, the camp’s square, Mahyoub Street, and the al-Aloub and al-Damj neighborhoods, causing widespread destruction and devastation.
In this context, confrontations broke out between Resistance fighters and the occupation forces at the Cinema Roundabout in the center of Jenin City and the Hisbah area. Israeli occupation forces also brutally beat a group of Palestinian youths, while their vehicles were deployed in several areas of the city such as the industrial area, Al-Barid Street, the main roundabout, and Yahya Ayyash roundabout.

The Palestinian Red Crescent announced that its crews transferred one martyr who was shot by the occupation forces near the Cinema Roundabout in Jenin city.
The ongoing aggression on Jenin City and its camp has so far left 17 martyrs and dozens of injuries, in addition to a campaign of arrests and forced displacement of families, not to mention the more than 100 homes burned inside the camp amid the continued systematic destruction of the infrastructure and preventing ambulance and civil defense crews from entering it.
In the meantime, Israeli occupation forces continue to besiege hospitals in the city of Tulkarm in the West Bank and destroy their infrastructure, according to Al Mayadeen's correspondent.
Last night, the IOF demolished the house of Martyr Tamer Raafat Faqha in the Shuwaika suburb, north of Tulkarm, while the Resistance confronted the Israeli forces in the area.

The al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades announced that its fighters engaged in fierce confrontations with the occupation forces in Tulkarm camp, achieving confirmed hits and casualties.
Local media reported that a large number of occupation military vehicles accompanied by a heavy bulldozer of the "D10" type stormed the suburb, headed toward the house of the martyr Faqha, and deployed snipers in the surrounding houses, before proceeding to demolish it.
In November 2024, the family of martyr Tamer Faqha received a notice from the Israeli occupation army that their one-story house would be demolished.
Faqha was martyred on May 4, 2024, after the occupation forces surrounded a house in the town of Deir al-Ghusun, north of the governorate, over allegations of carrying out a shooting operation in November 2023 at the entrance to the town of Beit Lid, east of Tulkarm, which led to the death of a soldier.
Yesterday evening, Tuesday, Palestinian youth Ayman Fadi Qassem Naji, 23, was also martyred after being shot by Israeli occupation forces besieging a house in the Artah suburb, south of Tulkarm, amid heavy gunfire.
Moreover, Israeli occupation forces demolished the al-Taqwa prayer hall in the town of Sur Baher in occupied al-Quds.
