Jenin Raid Israeli army enters the 2nd month; mass movement in the west coast | Occupied news of the West Coast
Thousands are fleeing Jenin, while the Israeli army continues to demolish, marking the greatest shift in decades across the West Coast.
The Israeli army continued with its great military raids in the northern occupied city of the western coast of Jenin and its refugee camp, forcing thousands to escape from their homes.
On Wednesday, 30 days have been celebrated since Israeli forces began the attack on Jenin, which then spread to other parts of the northern west coast, including Tulkarem and its refugee camp Nur Shams. At least 26 Palestinians were killed in Jenin since January 21st.
The army also deployed hundreds of soldiers and bulldozers who demolished the houses and torn the vital infrastructure in an overcrowded camp, forcing almost all of their residents.
“We do not know what is happening in the camp, but continuous demolition and the roads are dug,” said Mohammed al-Sabbagh, head of the Junin Camp Services Committee.
In an interview with journalists on Tuesday, Mayor Jenina Mohammed Jarrar said the Israeli army “accepted the pattern of random destruction” in the camp and the environment for the camp to be “uninhabited”.
The mass movement of Palestinians from different parts of the West Coast in recent weeks indicates the largest shift surgery in decades.
Camps, built for descendants of Palestinian refugees who escaped or were driven from their homes in Nakba from 1948 over the creation of Israel, have long been the main centers for resistance groups that fight Israeli occupation.
The Israeli army has repeatedly expelled them, but the current operation, which began that the truce was agreed in the besieged and bombarded Gaza tape was in an unusually large extent.
According to the Palestinian administration, about 17,000 people are now forced from the refugee camp of Jenin, leaving it almost abandoned. In Nur Shams, 6,000 people, or about two -thirds of their population, he is forced, and another 10,000 leave the Tulkarem camp.
“Those who are left are trapped,” said Nihad al-Shawish, head of the Nur Shams Camp Committee. “Civil protection, red crescent and Palestinian safety forces brought them yesterday, but the army still bulldozes and destroyed the camp.”
The Israeli raids overthrew dozens of houses and torn large roadway shares, as well as cutting water and electricity.
Humanitarian officials say they have not seen such displacement on the west coast of the 1967 war in the Middle East, when Israel captured the territory west of the Jordan River, along with East Jerusalem and Gaza belt.
“This is unprecedented. When you add to the destruction of the infrastructure, we reach the point where the campsites become uninhabited,” said Roland Friedrich, director of the West Coast for UNRWA, UN for Palestinian refugees.
Israeli forces also continued to carry out the arrests of Palestinians on the west coast.
On Wednesday, four people were detained from Jenin, including two children.
Also on Wednesday, an older woman was shot in her chest near the entrance to the refugee camp Jenin.
The Palestinian news agency Wafa said that the Israeli forces had sealed the entrances to the camp and that the soldiers were stationed at the main entrance to the people trying to get closer.
Somewhere else on the western coast of Israel, the Israeli forces made a raid and demolished the home in Hebron, while military bulldozers were demolished by agricultural land.
