For the 17th consecutive day, the Israeli occupation continues its aggression against the city of Jenin and its refugee camp, killing 25 Palestinians and leaving dozens more injured.
The Jenin Camp Media Committee reports that 15,000 people have been displaced due to ongoing Israeli aggression, with 180 homes destroyed. The assault has also disrupted essential services, closed schools, and left four hospitals without water.
The committee confirmed that the people of Jenin are enduring dire conditions, with ongoing water and electricity outages, while Israeli forces continue to besiege Jenin Governmental Hospital after bulldozing its entrance and the main street leading to it.

Hospital departments are facing a severe shortage of potable water, while the Jenin Municipality, in collaboration with the Civil Defense, is attempting to deliver water to the hospital using small agricultural tractors, as Israeli forces prevent the entry of Civil Defense water tankers.
Jenin Governor Kamal Abu al-Rubb stated that the bombings have completely altered the geometric and demographic structure of the camp, while Jenin Mayor Muhammad Jarrar described the situation as catastrophic, with the city experiencing total paralysis across all aspects of life.
'Israel' continues West Bank aggression
The Israeli occupation forces continued their aggression on Wednesday against areas and refugee camps in the northern West Bank, killing 30 Palestinians and causing extensive destruction to infrastructure, including the burning of homes and the arrest of dozens of Palestinians.
Additionally, Israeli forces detonated residential blocks in the Jenin refugee camp, further escalating their attacks. This aggression has led to the transformation of the city of Tulkarm and its refugee camp into military barracks, forcing 75% of the population to flee, according to Palestinian media sources.
The sources also reported a heavy presence of Israeli troops at the northern entrance of the camp and in the surrounding agricultural areas. Israeli forces conducted extensive raids and searches after seizing several residential buildings and converting them into military posts.
Additionally, the occupation forces stormed al-Adawiya School, positioning snipers in its windows, and spread throughout the alleys and neighborhoods of the camp, targeting any movement.
Meanwhile, in Tubas, the Israeli military continued its assaults in the town of Tammoun and the al-Faraa refugee camp, deploying additional reinforcements. The situation had worsened due to the ongoing siege, with food and essential supplies running out, water shortages, and widespread destruction of roads and infrastructure.
