Over the past eight days, the Israeli aggression on Jenin and its camp in the West Bank has left 16 Palestinian martyrs, with dozens injured and detained, families displaced, and at least 100 homes burned and destroyed.
On Monday, the Israeli occupation forces informed the family of martyr Nidal al-Amer that their multilevel home would be demolished in the Jenin refugee camp.
Currently, the IOF are destroying the camp's streets, destroying its houses, and setting them on fire in an attempt to divide it into four sections.
The occupation forces had withdrawn from the western edges of the Jenin camp but redeployed shortly afterward, preventing residents from inspecting their homes and detaining a group of them. Moreover, Israeli gunfire targeted and injured a child near the Cinema Roundabout where intense confrontations were taking place.
Additionally, occupation forces confined a vehicle on Nablus Street, interrogated its passengers, and stationed Israeli troops along al-Nasira Street, the industrial area, the vicinity of al-Zayed Roundabout, Yahya Ashan Roundabout, and Nablus Street.

The IOF also detained several Palestinians in the Jenin refugee camp and several neighborhoods in the city as they continued to push military reinforcements and bulldozers to Jenin city, with military vehicles stationed in front of Jenin Governmental Hospital, while warplanes and drones flew over the area.
Palestinian Resistance defends Jenin
