Between Tuesday evening and Wednesday afternoon, Israeli forces killed two Palestinian children, injured several young men, abducted at least twenty-eight, and bombed homes in the northern West Bank city of Jenin and its refugee camp.
A large army force, including military bulldozers invaded, on Tuesday evening, the city of Jenin and its refugee camp from several directions, coinciding with the sounds of sirens and Israeli reconnaissance drones.
The army besieged the refugee camp and several of the city’s hospitals, and abducted several young men, while bulldozers destroyed roads and infrastructure in the city and on the outskirts of the camp, in addition to bombing citizens’ vehicles.
Military sharpshooters who were positioned on the rooftops of many high-rise buildings, opened fire at civilians, while the army declared the city of Jenin and its camp a closed military zone and imposed a tight siege on the Jenin camp from all sides.
The military incursion sparked fierce protests among local Palestinian youths and armed Palestinian resistance fighters who exchanged fire with the attacking army and employed explosive devices targeting army vehicles.
Dr. Fawaz Hammad, the Director of the Al-Razi Hospital, told the Palestinian News and Information Agency (WAFA) that several citizens, including children, were shot with live ammunition, one of whom was abducted from inside an ambulance, adding that occupation forces obstructed the work of ambulances.
Soldiers fired concussion grenades and tear gas canisters towards Palestinian citizens and homes in several neighborhoods, causing several people to suffer the toxic effects of tear gas inhalation.
Sources said that the army besieged the home of Hamoudi Taj, and using loudspeakers, demanded that he surrender himself.
The army fired an “Energa” missile at a home in the “Al-Samran” neighborhood in the camp, and bombed a home in the “Al-Damj” neighborhood in the camp, causing major destruction.
Dr. Wissam Bakr, the director of the Jenin Governmental Hospital told WAFA that soldiers searched the vehicles of ambulance crews and hospital employees, while deploying an infantry squad at the emergency room entrance and in the hospital courtyard.
The Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) reported that Israeli forces detained its ambulance crews in front of the Jenin Governmental Hospital and blocked their ability to transport a patient to the hospital who was shot with a live round.
Samer Attia, the director of Ibn Sina Hospital, told WAFA that the army imposed a siege on the hospital from every direction.
At 6 am military reinforcements arrived in the city, and media sources reported after 7 am, that military bulldozers continued to destroy roads and infrastructure mostly in the “Al-Damj” and “Al-Samran” neighborhoods of the refugee camp, including electricity, water, and sewage networks.
On Wednesday morning soldiers bombed a home in the “Al-Damj” neighborhood in the Jenin refugee camp, in addition to citizens’ vehicles, and bombed homes in the “Al-Jabriyat” neighborhood near the camp.
It was added that an armed drone bombed a home belonging to the Zamiro family, while the home of Nael Tawfiq Al-Ghoul, was targeted with “Energa” missiles.
WAFA also reported that Israeli soldiers forcibly evacuated Palestinian citizens at gunpoint, to leave their homes in the “Al-Damj” neighborhood in the camp.
The Ministry of Health announced that two children, identified as Adam Samer Al-Ghoul, 8, and Basil Suleiman Abu Al-Wafa, 15, were shot dead by the Israeli army on Wednesday afternoon.
Media sources said that Israeli forces targeted the two slain children directly while they were in the Basateen neighborhood, and prevented citizens and paramedics from reaching them, while they bled to death.
A video posted on social media shows that the child posed no threat to the occupation army when soldiers shot him dead on the street.
Meanwhile, in the afternoon, soldiers shot a young man in the head with live ammunition and ran over another with an Israeli military vehicle.
Furthermore, the army abducted twenty-eight Palestinians from the city of Jenin and its camp, during the prolonged incursion.
