For the 59th consecutive day, "Israel" continues its military escalation in the city and refugee camp of Jenin in the occupied West Bank, carrying out demolitions and burning homes while converting some into military outposts.
Meanwhile, the Israeli assault on the city and refugee camp of Tulkarm has entered its 53rd day, with families forced to flee amid an ongoing siege and aggression. In the Nur Shams refugee camp, the Israeli offensive has reached its 40th day, marked by systematic destruction of infrastructure and widespread arrests across the West Bank.
Israeli occupation forces have intensified home demolitions and infrastructure destruction in Tulkarm, Jenin, and refugee camps in the northern West Bank. According to the Popular Services Committee in Nur Shams, the occupation forces have destroyed 66 homes since the beginning of its assault on the camp.
In Jenin, the aggression has resulted in the partial or complete destruction of 512 homes and facilities, according to the camp's committee. Additionally, Israeli forces have issued demolition notices for more than 60 homes within the next 24 hours, signaling further escalation and humanitarian deterioration in the West Bank. Simultaneously, the occupation forces stormed the town of Arabbuna, northwest of Jenin.
Since dawn on Wednesday, Israeli occupation forces have continued to forcibly displace families from the al-Ain refugee camp, west of Nablus.
According to WAFA, the occupation forces have maintained a siege on the camp, carrying out home raids and compelling residents to evacuate.
Displaced residents told WAFA that Israeli forces are conducting searches and raids, forcing families—including the sick, elderly, and children—to leave their homes.
A Palestinian youth was killed Wednesday, while others were injured and detained during Israeli raids on the al-Ain, Balata, and Askar refugee camps.
Security sources reported that Israeli undercover special forces infiltrated the al-Ain refugee camp and opened fire on a vehicle, killing Uday Adel al-Qatouni, who was near the targeted car.
