Israeli Army Displaces Families In Jenin

On Friday evening, Israeli soldiers invaded the eastern neighborhood of Jenin in the northern part of the occupied West Bank, displacing many families before occupying their homes and using the properties as military posts, in preparation for a larger military offensive.

Local sources said dozens of soldiers invaded the neighborhood, stormed and ransacked homes, and started forcing the families out.

They added that Palestinian ambulances transported many families, especially those with infants and children, out of the area after the army ordered their displacement.

The Israeli military forced the Palestinians to evacuate their homes and told them that the army would be operating in the area for ten days.

It is worth mentioning that over the three days, the Palestinians have been denied water and food after the army occupied their homes in the eastern neighborhood while the army also invaded several parts of Jenin, causing damage to homes, streets, and infrastructure.

The soldiers also detained and interrogated many Palestinians, including children and teenage boys, before displacing the families and ordering them to walk through the mountain to leave the area.

The Israeli army caused excessive damage to the invaded homes, especially those the army occupied for two days before ordering the families out, and caused the families, especially the children, to suffer severe anxiety attacks.
