Israeli occupation forces raid Jenin, its camp, damage infrastructure

OCCUPIED PALESTINE, Feb. 28 (YPA) – Israeli occupation forces Wednesday dawn broke into the city of Jenin and the outskirts of its camp, and launched an arrest campaign amid widespread destruction of infrastructure.

Local sources said that a large Israeli force, accompanied by military vehicles and bulldozers, raided the city and its camp. Foot patrols were deployed in all its streets and alleys, provoking residents and leading to confrontations.

Meanwhile, Israeli heavy machinery and military vehicles proceeded to bulldoze the infrastructure in the vicinity of Al-Wakala School, Al-Awda Roundabout, and the salin Shirin Abu Aqla and Al-Zahra Streets, while sniper soldiers were deployed on the roofs of several houses and buildings.

During their incursion, the occupation army vandalized scores of Palestinian-owned vehicles and citizens’ property, including walls and the entrances to a number of homes and shops, sparking clashes with local residents in the eastern neighborhood of the camp.

Earlier today, a Palestinian man was moderately injured in an Israeli drone raid near Diwan Al-Saadi, and he was later rushed to a nearby hospital in Jenin for medical treatment.
