Israeli Aggression Enters 114th Day in Jenin

Jenin: The Israeli occupation army continues to expand its bulldozing and destruction operations inside Jenin camp, altering its features and obliterating its identity, while continuing to prevent entry and access to the camp. The Jenin Municipality estimates that as the aggression enters its 114th day, the occupation authorities have completely demolished approximately 600 homes in the camp, while the rest have been partially damaged and rendered uninhabitable. The occupation continues to fire live ammunition intensively in the camp.

According to Qatar News Agency, the effects of the occupation's aggression were not limited to the camp alone, but extended to the city of Jenin, causing damage to facilities, homes, and infrastructure, especially in the eastern neighborhood and Al-Hadaf neighborhood. It noted that, in light of the ongoing aggression, families from the camp, as well as hundreds of families from the city and its surroundings, are still being forcibly displaced. The Jenin Municipality indicates that the number of displaced persons from the camp and the city has exceeded 22,000.

The economic situation in Jenin is also deteriorating, with heavy commercial losses resulting from the aggression estimated at approximately $300 million so far. Many shops have been forced to close due to bulldozing and the destruction of infrastructure and streets, particularly in the western neighborhoods, which are experiencing near-total economic paralysis. Since the beginning of the aggression on the city and camp on January 21, 2020, 40 people have been martyred, along with dozens more injured and detained.
