Israeli occupation forces continue their relentless offensive on the city of Jenin and Jenin refugee camp for the 100th consecutive day, intensifying home demolitions, road destruction, and forced displacement of civilians.
According to reports, the Israeli military has been deploying additional reinforcements toward the refugee camp and its surroundings, while infantry units patrol several neighborhoods across the city.
Most villages in Jenin Governorate witness daily military movements and the constant presence of Israeli patrols and armored vehicles.
The destruction within Jenin Refugee Camp persists, with Israeli forces blocking access and movement in and out of the area.
Concerns have grown after Israeli troops installed iron gates at the camp’s entrances in recent days.
Widespread Damage and Displacement
Official estimates indicate that every home and structure in the refugee camp has suffered either complete or partial damage due to the ongoing offensive, with continuous demolition and bulldozing aimed at altering the camp’s infrastructure and urban layout.
Additionally, 800 residential units in the city have sustained partial damage, while 15 buildings have been demolished since the beginning of the invasion.
Most of the destruction has affected housing in the eastern district and the Al-Hadaf neighborhood, according to Jenin Municipality data.
Hundreds of families from the refugee camp, along with many more from the city and nearby areas, remain forcibly displaced.
Official figures from Jenin Municipality estimate that the number of displaced people from the camp and the city now exceeds 22,000.
Economic Devastation
Jenin, a city largely dependent on trade, is facing increasing economic deterioration due to the prolonged Israeli assault. Severe commercial losses have been recorded following widespread business closures and the disruption of shopping activity from outside the city.
Israeli bulldozing operations and the destruction of infrastructure have damaged dozens of shops, while entire areas of the city—particularly western neighborhoods—suffer from total economic paralysis.
Rising Casualties and Mass Abductions
Since the start of the ongoing onslaught, at least 39 Palestinians have been killed, with dozens more wounded. Israeli forces have escalated mass abductions of civilians across various areas of Jenin Governorate.
Since the beginning of the year, Israeli forces have killed 131 Palestinian citizens in the occupied West Bank, including 24 children and 5 women, according to the Shireen Observatory.

On Wednesday, the 44th day since the resumption of genocide against the Palestinians in the devastated, starved, and besieged Gaza Strip, Israeli missiles and shells struck various parts of the coastal enclave, killing and wounding dozens of residents.
Israel has now killed at least 52,365 Palestinians, including 16,626 children, 9,807 women, 3,854 elders, 236 journalists, 300 UNRWA staff and 1,502 medical staff, and injured more than 117,905, largely children, women and elderly, across the devastated coastal enclave.
