JENIN, January, 27, 2024 (WAFA) – For the seventh consecutive day in a row, Israeli occupation forces continue their large-scale military onslaught on the city of Jenin and its refugee camp, resulting so far in the killing of around 16 Palestinians and causing the injury of others.   

On Sunday evening, Israeli occupation bulldozers destroyed the Cinema Roundabout and its surroundings in the center of Jenin city.

Local sources said that the occupation bulldozers destroyed citizens' commercial stalls in the vicinity of the roundabout and bulldozed sections of the street, amidst intense confrontations.

Also on Sunday, the Palestinian young man Abdul Jawad Al-Ghoul, 26, succumbed to his injury several days after he had been injured by Israeli occupation forces' gunfire in the city.

The Israeli occupation forces also continue to destroy, blow up, and burn homes in Jenin refugee camp, where they destroyed large parts of the Al-Damaj neighborhood and Al-Bishr neighborhood, in addition to Abdullah Azzam neighborhood and other areas. 

Simultaneously, the occupation forces blew up two houses in the camp, one of which belongs to the Tawalba family.

The occupation army continues to send military reinforcements to the city of Jenin, with military vehicles stationed in front of Jenin Governmental Hospital.

Director of Jenin Governmental Hospital, Dr. Wissam Abu Bakr, said that what the occupation forces are doing in terms of destroying the main street and stationing the vehicles makes it difficult for the medical staff to work.

He added that on the second day of the raid, the occupation forces bulldozed the entrance to the hospital and closed its entrances with dirt barriers, which hindered entry and exit, and on the third day we started working to remove the barriers and open the closure.

Abu Bakr confirmed that the hospital staff is working with all their energy to get through these difficult days, and provide everything necessary for patients and those who want treatment, despite the difficulty of reaching and the danger.

Yesterday, Jenin Governor Kamal Abu al-Rab confirmed that the occupation forces blew up about 20 houses inside Jenin camp, and is working to divide the camp into four parts, by destroying the streets and blowing up and burning the houses.

The occupation army began an unprecedented aggression on the city and its camp since last Tuesday evening.
