JENIN, February 16, 2025 (WAFA) – The Israeli occupation forces are continuing their assault on the city of Jenin and its refugee camp for the 27th consecutive day, resulting so far in the killing of at least 25 individuals, dozens of injuries, and widespread destruction of property and infrastructure.
The skies over Jenin have been heavily patrolled by Israeli drones, while military forces have transformed civilian homes in several areas of the city into military outposts. Troops have been deployed in large numbers in the Jenin refugee camp, continuing to push deep into the heart of the camp.
As the Israeli occupation’s offensive on Jenin camp persists, the damage is becoming increasingly apparent. Simultaneously, military reinforcements continue to arrive in the area, accompanied by bulldozers and fuel tankers.
The ongoing Israeli escalation is part of a broader military offensive that began on January 21 in Jenin and its refugee camp, as well as surrounding towns.
The Israeli army expanded its assault into Tulkarm on January 27. On February 2, another assault was launched in the town of Tammun and the Far'a refugee camp in the province of Tubas.
The escalation follows a ceasefire and prisoner exchange deal in Gaza on January 19 after more than 15 months of Israeli bombardment which has killed more than 48,100 Palestinians and devastated the enclave.
