Israeli occupation forces have intensified their aggression on Jenin and its refugee camp, now entering its sixth consecutive day. Additional military reinforcements have been deployed, underscoring the scale of the ongoing Israeli assault.

Israeli military vehicles remain stationed around Jenin Governmental Hospital, restricting the movement of civilians and obstructing access to essential medical services. The situation has further deteriorated, with reports from Palestinian media confirming the demolition of over 20 homes in the camp, some of which were detonated by invading Israeli units.

Meanwhile, reports indicate that martyrs are still trapped beneath the rubble.

Throughout the week, Israeli forces have set fire to several homes, systematically demolishing others, with intermittent explosions reverberating across the camp. 

Reinforcements have also been sent to Qabatiya, where Apache helicopters have been seen hovering, while infrastructure at the entrance to Al-Yamun, northwest of Jenin, is being systematically destroyed.

IOF kill 2-year-old child 

The Palestinian Ministry of Health reported the martyrdom of Abdul Jawad Al-Ghoul, a 26-year-old who succumbed to injuries inflicted by occupation forces’ gunfire during last Tuesday’s incursion. Additionally, two-year-old Leila Al-Khatib was martyred after being shot in the head by an Israeli sniper at Al-Shuhada Triangle, south of Jenin.

While Resistance fighters continued to confront the Israeli forces, the IOF admitted that three of its soldiers were injured, one critically, during the confrontations.

In a statement, the commander of the Al-Quds Brigades in the West Bank said that the Resistance would eventually disclose details proving that "Israel’s" failure to secure a symbolic victory in Gaza would be mirrored in Jenin. He added that Resistance fighters have consistently ambushed Israeli forces and their military vehicles, showcasing their unyielding defiance.

UN seriously concerned by 'Israel's' 'war fighting' methods in West Bank

The United Nations has recently expressed serious concerns about the Israeli military's actions during its recent raid in the West Bank, describing the use of force as employing methods "developed for war fighting."

"We are deeply concerned by the use of unlawful lethal force in Jenin, in the occupied West Bank," UN human rights office spokesman Thameen al-Kheetan told a media briefing in Geneva.

He emphasized that "the deadly Israeli operations in recent days raise serious concerns about unnecessary or disproportionate use of force, including methods and means developed for war fighting, in violation of international human rights law, norms, and standards applicable to law enforcement operations."

"This includes multiple airstrikes and apparently random shooting at unarmed residents attempting to flee or find safety."

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has defended the aggression, codenamed “Iron Wall”, as a mission to “eradicate terrorism” in the area.  

Al-Kheetan further reported that at least 12 Palestinians had been killed and 40 injured since Tuesday, according to the UN rights office’s verification, adding that most of those killed were reportedly unarmed.  

He called for thorough, independent investigations into all killings that occur in the context of law enforcement and stressed the need for accountability for unlawful killings.  

Al-Kheetan noted an uptick in violence by Israeli settlers against Palestinians in the West Bank following the implementation of the ceasefire in Gaza, including attacks on villages, stoning vehicles, and arson targeting homes and cars.

"We are also concerned by repeated comments from some Israeli officials about plans to expand settlements further still, in a fresh breach of international law. We recall again that the transfer by Israel of its own civilian population into territories it occupies also amounts to a war crime," he added.
