On Tuesday, the Israeli army continued its military offensive in Jenin, located in the northern part of the occupied West Bank, burning several Palestinian homes.
Media sources reported that numerous armored military vehicles invaded the Jenin refugee camp, where soldiers set fire to multiple homes near Sa’adi Junction.
The assault caused extensive damage to residential properties and destroyed critical infrastructure within the camp and its surrounding areas.
The Israeli army launched its large-scale operation in Jenin 57 days ago, resulting in the deaths of 34 Palestinians, injuries to dozens, and the abduction of numerous residents.
The military has also bulldozed and demolished dozens of homes, inflicting severe damage on the camp’s infrastructure.
The invasions have also extended to nearby villages and towns, further escalating the destruction and displacement of residents.
Reports indicate that the ongoing offensive has displaced thousands of Palestinians, with Jenin’s infrastructure and economy suffering catastrophic damage.
Local officials have described the scale of destruction as unprecedented, with entire neighborhoods rendered uninhabitable.
