JENIN, January 31, 2025 (WAFA) – As the Israeli military offensive in the city and refugee camp of Jenin has entered its eleventh consecutive day, the occupation forces Friday continued to blow up Palestinians’ houses in the camp, according to local sources.
They said that sounds of explosions could be heard in the camp as the occupation forces blew up Palestinians’ houses, particularly at the Ad-Damj, Abdullah Azzam and al-Beshr neighborhoods.
Israeli military bulldozers plowed through infrastructure, including the road leading to Jenin Government Hospital, resulting in extensive destruction at a time when the gun-toting soldiers impeded the movement of ambulances into and out of the hospital.
Earlier, Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) crews evacuated a patient who was suffering from Dehydration for two days from the camp as a result of the ongoing siege and incursion.
Meanwhile, the occupation forces detained several youths from the Jenin city and camp.
The occupation forces have continued a massive onslaught on Jenin city and refugee camp for the eleventh consecutive day, killing 19 Palestinians, injuring dozens and rounding up scores.
The onslaught on Jenin comes as the occupation forces continue to launch large-scale aggression on the city and the refugee camp of Tulkarm, forcing over 1,000 Palestinians, including elderly, women, children, and people with disabilities, from their houses, deploying snipers, plowing through infrastructure and property, obstructing the movement of medical crews.
This comes as the occupation forces tightened military measures across the occupied West Bank hours after the release of 90 Palestinian prisoners as part of the Gaza ceasefire went into effect, dismembering and isolating cities and governorates one from the other using military gates, barriers and concrete blocks.
The Israeli military measures are in parallel with ongoing attacks by Israeli colonists across the West Bank with the aim of terrorizing Palestinians and displacing them from their lands to seize them and build illegal Jewish colonies that separate Palestinian communities.
Israeli severely restricts Palestinians’ freedom of movement within the occupied West Bank through a complex combination of approximately 898 fixed and flying checkpoints and gates, including 18 gates that have been installed since the start of 2025 and 146 others installed in the aftermath of October 7, 2023, settler-only roads, over 200 military bases, and various other physical obstructions.
Closures besides to other measures, taken under the guise of security, are intended to entrench Israel’s 58-year-old military occupation of the West Bank and its settler colonial project which it enforces with routine and frequently deadly violence against Palestinians.
