JENIN, February 9, 2025 (WAFA) – The Israeli occupation has completely destroyed the Jenin refugee camp and forcibly displaced over 20,000 Palestinian residents, leaving behind their homes, personal documents and belongings, according to Mansour Al-Saadi, the Deputy Governor of Jenin.

Al-Saadi described the destruction as part of a broader conspiracy aimed at erasing the refugee issue entirely.

In an interview with Voice of Palestine radio on Sunday, Al-Saadi emphasized that the ongoing assault on the city of Jenin and its refugee camp represents collective punishment imposed on nearly 400,000 residents of the governorate.

He stressed that this relentless aggression has resulted in significant economic losses and disrupted the educational process.

Al-Saadi appealed to international human rights and legal organizations to take action, urging them to enter the camp and document the scale of the crime, particularly as there is a high probability that the bodies of slain Palestinians and the injured remain trapped under the rubble of destroyed homes.

Israeli occupation forces have continued their assault on the city of Jenin and its refugee camp for the 20th consecutive day, leaving behind 25 fatalities and dozens of injuries since the beginning of the assault.
