Israeli occupation forces have sustained their invasion of Jenin and its refugee camp for the 115th consecutive day, intensifying bulldozing and destruction operations aimed at erasing its identity and infrastructure while enforcing a total blockade that prevents entry or exit.
On the 77th anniversary of the Nakba, which marks the mass displacement of Palestinians and the destruction of hundreds of villages and towns in 1948, Israeli forces continue to forcibly displace the 22,000 residents of Jenin refugee camp, scattering them across 39 displacement sites in the Jenin governorate.
Local sources report that Israeli forces remain deeply entrenched inside and around the refugee camp, with relentless gunfire echoing through its streets. On Wednesday, Israeli soldiers set fire to a home, further escalating the devastation.
According to Jenin Municipality estimates, Israeli forces have demolished around 600 homes, while the remaining structures have suffered severe damage, rendering them uninhabitable. Live ammunition continues to be fired indiscriminately throughout the camp.
Villages across the Jenin governorate endure near-daily invasions, with military convoys and patrols roaming the streets, enforcing a constant presence.
The total closure of Jenin refugee camp remains in effect, preventing access while demolition operations persist.
The Jenin Municipality estimates that approximately 600 homes have been destroyed, while the remaining houses have suffered partial damage, making them unlivable.
Jenin city itself has suffered extensive destruction, particularly in the eastern neighborhood and Al-Hadaf neighborhood, where homes, businesses, and infrastructure lie in ruins.
Israeli forces continue to deploy reinforcements, sending additional troops and armored vehicles toward the camp and its surroundings, while infantry units patrol multiple neighborhoods daily.
Families from the refugee camp, along with hundreds of families from Jenin and its surroundings, remain forcibly displaced.
The Jenin Municipality reports that the number of displaced Palestinians from the Jenin refugee camp and Jenin city has exceeded 22,000.
The economic collapse in Jenin deepens, with businesses shutting down, trade grinding to a halt, and shopping activity plummeting. The destruction of roads, infrastructure, and commercial establishments has left western neighborhoods in near-total economic paralysis. Initial estimates place the financial losses at over $300 million.
Since the invasion of Jenin city and its refugee camp began on January 21, 2025, 40 Palestinians have been killed, while dozens have been wounded and scores abducted.
