JENIN, May 14, 2025 (WAFA) — The Israeli occupation army continues to expand its bulldozing and destruction operations inside Jenin camp, altering its features and obliterating its identity, while continuing to prevent entry and access to the camp.
The Jenin Municipality estimates that as the aggression enters its 114th day, the occupation authorities have completely demolished approximately 600 homes in the camp, while the rest have been partially damaged and rendered uninhabitable.
The occupation continues to fire live ammunition intensively in the camp.
WAFA correspondent noted that the effects of the occupation's aggression were not limited to the camp alone, but extended to the city of Jenin, causing significant damage to facilities, homes, and infrastructure, especially in the eastern neighborhood and the Al-Hadaf neighborhood.
She noted that, in light of the ongoing aggression, families from the camp, as well as hundreds of families from the city and its surroundings, are still being forcibly displaced.
The Jenin Municipality indicates that the number of displaced persons from the camp and the city has exceeded 22,000.
The economic situation in Jenin is also deteriorating, with heavy commercial losses resulting from the aggression estimated at approximately $300 million so far.
Many shops have been forced to close due to bulldozing and the destruction of infrastructure and streets, particularly in the western neighborhoods, which are experiencing near-total economic paralysis. This is in addition to the decline in shopping traffic coming into the city from outside.
On the ground, villages in Jenin Governorate are witnessing almost daily raids as the aggression against the city and camp continues.
These raids are being recorded daily in most villages of the governorate, along with the constant presence of occupation patrols and vehicles.
This morning, forces detained four young men from Anza and Meithalun, south of Jenin. The occupation forces patrolled the streets of the Interior Roundabout and the surrounding areas of the camp, especially near Jenin Governmental Hospital. The occupation forces also raided the town of Silat al-Harithiya and fired live ammunition at civilians.
Since the beginning of the aggression on the city and camp on January 21, 2020, 40 people have been killed, along with dozens more injured and detained.
