On Monday, Israeli occupation forces continued their military offensive in Jenin and its refugee camp for the 106th day, expanding demolition and bulldozing attacks, destruction of infrastructure operations inside the refugee camp to alter its landscape and infrastructure while maintaining a strict blockade preventing entry or access.
Villages across Jenin governorate are experiencing near-daily invasions, with ongoing military operations and violations recorded across most areas. Israeli patrols and armored vehicles remain a constant presence.
The blockade on Jenin refugee camp remains in full effect, as Israeli forces persist with destruction efforts aimed at erasing its structure and identity.
According to Jenin municipality estimates, around 600 homes have been demolished within the camp, while the remaining homes have suffered partial damage, rendering them uninhabitable.
Jenin city itself has sustained heavy damage to infrastructure, residential areas, and commercial properties, particularly in the eastern neighborhood and Al-Hadaf neighborhood.
Additional military reinforcements continue to be deployed around the camp and its surroundings, while Israeli infantry units conduct daily patrols across multiple neighborhoods of Jenin.
Hundreds of families from both the refugee camp and surrounding areas remain forcibly displaced. According to the municipality, the number of displaced individuals has surpassed 22,000.
The economic situation in Jenin continues to deteriorate, with massive commercial losses recorded due to the ongoing invasion.
Business closures, declining trade activity, and the destruction of roads and infrastructure have left western neighborhoods in near-total economic paralysis. Initial estimates suggest the invasion has resulted in losses exceeding $300 million.
On Sunday morning, Israeli forces ordered residents of two buildings in the vicinity of Al-Zahraa neighborhood to evacuate, turning them into military outposts.
