West Bank, ALRAY - The Israeli military operation in the city of Jenin and its refugee camp in the occupied West Bank continues, marked by relentless airstrikes and the forced displacement of numerous families from their homes. According to the Ministry of Health's latest statistics, this Israeli aggression has tragically led to the martyrdom of 10 civilians, with approximately 100 individuals injured, including 20 in critical condition.
The Red Crescent reported that its teams have received the body of a martyr from the area of Harsh Al-Sa'ada in Jenin, which was discovered this morning. They also received another martyr who was injured during the bombardment of the Jenin refugee camp yesterday afternoon. The medical teams were unable to reach the second martyr until hours later. The delays in accessing and providing medical assistance to the injured reflect the challenging conditions on the ground, further exacerbating the already tragic situation.
Amidst the ongoing crisis, Israeli warplanes persist in unleashing relentless airstrikes upon residential homes within the refugee camp. Concurrently, a surge of military reinforcements converges at the entrances of the camp. Notably, this includes the deployment of compact, specialized military bulldozers meticulously designed to navigate the intricacies of the camp's narrow alleys and streets. The calculated deployment of these forces signals a concerted effort to intensify control and potentially escalate the situation. As the assault on the camp's infrastructure and civilian population persists, concerns grow for the safety and well-being of those trapped within its confines.
Israeli occupation forces have imposed a suffocating siege on the Jenin refugee camp, exacerbating the crisis. The camp finds itself trapped, with essential services severely impacted due to deliberate acts of sabotage. The deliberate destruction of infrastructure, such as the excavation of streets, uprooting of electricity poles, and interference with communication lines, has led to a complete blackout, cutting off the camp's access to electricity and water supply. This deliberate targeting of vital services compounds the already dire circumstances faced by the camp's residents, further intensifying their plight and making it increasingly challenging to meet their basic needs.
In a distressing turn of events, the Israeli army has compelled the residents of the Jenin refugee camp to evacuate their homes and leave the camp under the threat of missile strikes. To further assert their control, the army has converted several houses on the outskirts of the camp into military barracks, and snipers have been positioned on their rooftops. This forceful displacement of families and the militarization of residential areas not only uproot the lives of the camp's inhabitants but also raise concerns for their safety and well-being. The presence of snipers adds an element of fear and exacerbates the already tense atmosphere, further compromising the rights and security of the camp's residents.
The Red Crescent has reported that its teams have evacuated around 3,000 individuals from their homes in the camp to hospitals. They encountered significant difficulties during the evacuation process, especially due to the Israeli soldiers' deployment of numerous tear gas canisters towards the evacuees. This aggressive action by the occupying forces posed additional challenges and risks during the evacuation operations, further endangering the lives and well-being of the camp's residents. The use of tear gas canisters in such circumstances raises concerns about the violation of humanitarian principles and the safety of the affected individuals.
