Aggression on Jenin: The occupation continues bulldozing and destroying areas.

The Israeli occupation forces continue their aggression against the city of Jenin and its camp for the 127th consecutive day, expanding their bulldozing and destruction operations inside the camp and continuing to prevent entry or access to it, with the aim of changing its features and structure.

On Monday, Israeli occupation forces stormed the Sama building, located near Jenin refugee camp, and installed surveillance cameras on its roof. They also deployed a foot force around the Al-Rayyan building and near Jenin Government Hospital, and raided the home of the Rashid family near the Horse Roundabout at the entrance to the camp.

Israeli occupation forces also raided the town of Silat al-Dhahr and deployed throughout its streets, without any arrests being reported. Meanwhile, Israeli forces raided the town of Ya'bad to the south, seizing and searching a Palestinian vehicle, and raided the eastern part of the village of Faqqu'a to the east.

Villages in Jenin Governorate are witnessing near-daily raids as the aggression against the city and camp continues. Daily military movements are being recorded in most of the governorate's villages, along with the constant presence of Israeli patrols and vehicles.

The occupation continues to send military reinforcements to Jenin refugee camp and its surroundings, while continuing to fire live ammunition intensively inside the camp. It also deploys infantry units in several surrounding neighborhoods.

Over the four months since the start of the occupation's aggression on Jenin and its camp, approximately 22,000 residents have been displaced from the camp and its surroundings, posing significant challenges to the Jenin Municipality on both the humanitarian and economic fronts, according to Mayor Mohammed Jarrar.

The percentage of displaced persons reached 25% of the city's total population, which created challenges in the economic, social, environmental, service, and health aspects.

Jarrar confirmed that the direct damages from the ongoing Israeli aggression have so far reached $300 million, explaining that the occupation forces have completely destroyed the infrastructure in Jenin camp. Municipality crews estimate that 600 homes in the camp have been completely destroyed, with the remaining housing units partially damaged. Additionally, 4,000 workers have lost their jobs as a result of the aggression.

He pointed out that the municipality crews have begun carrying out repairs in several areas of Jenin, by working on re-paving and repairing their entrances, so that citizens can enter them, in addition to re-paving and repairing main streets in the city, including: Nazareth and Al-Bayader streets. The water network has been completely repaired in the eastern neighborhood, and half of the sewage network in the same area has been repaired, at a cost of up to 17 million shekels, and the street located behind Ibn Sina Hospital in the city center has been rehabilitated.

According to the Palestinian Prisoners' Club, the occupation has arrested nearly 1,000 citizens from Jenin and Tulkarm over the past four months, including those who were later released.

The number of martyrs since the beginning of the Israeli aggression has reached 40, and more than 200 injured.
