Israeli occupation aggression continues against Jenin

OCCUPIED PALESTINE, Feb. 20 (YPA) – The Israeli occupation continued on Thursday its aggression on the city of Jenin and its camp for the 31st consecutive day, leaving 26 Palestinian martyrs, dozens of injuries and arrests, widespread destruction of property and infrastructure, and the forced displacement of thousands of citizens.

A woman was shot by the occupation forces in the chest and abdomen yesterday at the Return Roundabout near the entrance to Jenin, while a child and a young man were arrested while trying to enter the camp with a number of citizens to check on their homes.

Meanwhile, the occupation continues to send military reinforcements accompanied by bulldozers and fuel tanks to the entrances to the camp and its surroundings. On Wednesday, it brought in water tanks, in addition to small rooms used for internal communications, amid widespread destruction of homes, property, and infrastructure. Drones continue to fly at low altitudes in the skies of the camp.

 The city’s hospitals are suffering from a severe water shortage after the occupation targeted and destroyed water lines, as nearly 35% of the city’s residents suffer from lack of water.

The occupation forces completely demolished more than 120 homes in Jenin camp, amid widespread destruction of infrastructure.
