Watch – Destruction, killing and displacement after the occupation stormed Jenin camp | Politics

Embryo- The Israeli occupation forces withdrew this afternoon, Tuesday, from the Jenin camp in the northern West Bank after a new and extensive military operation that lasted for more than 14 hours.

The raid resulted in the martyrdom of 5 citizens who were killed by the occupation's drones in bombing two sites in the eastern neighborhood of Jenin, and the Israeli vehicles left widespread destruction in citizens' homes and infrastructure.

Citizen Zahra Marai (38 years old), a resident of Jenin camp, said that Israeli bulldozers began yesterday evening, Monday, to demolish the wall of her house and the walls of her neighbors while she was with her young child and her husband inside the house.

Zahra spoke to Al Jazeera Net from above the rubble of her home in the neighbourhood, which had been transformed into a vast area of ​​destruction. She said, “My child was crying and I was trying to hold him. Of course, the electricity was cut off due to damage to the transformers and electrical wires. We lived through difficult hours, and I felt within us the same terror that the people of Gaza are experiencing.”

Zahra, who is in her first months of pregnancy, confirmed that what she, her neighbors, and the camp residents are experiencing in light of the Israeli incursions is similar in every detail to the crimes of the occupation in the Gaza Strip, from demolishing homes, terrorizing citizens, and preventing them from leaving their homes, in addition to threatening to destroy them over their heads.

In front of his house, which was completely demolished, Raafat Jamil Mar’i, a resident of Jenin camp, said that the occupation bulldozers advanced to demolish it without paying attention to his wife’s attempts to leave the house with her children, carrying a white flag.

Despite their repeated attempts, the Israeli officer in charge informed them that the bulldozer's work would be over within half an hour, which prompted Mar'i and his neighbors to request help from the Red Crescent and Civil Defense in order to coordinate the evacuation of his children, wife, and neighbors from the homes that the bulldozers were demolishing.

Marai said, “We were not afraid for ourselves. We were thinking about the children. Despite coordinating with the official authorities to transfer the residents from these homes, the occupation forces prevented ambulances from approaching, which forced us to walk about 50 meters to reach the place where the ambulance was allowed to stop.”

According to local sources in the camp, about 20 houses were severely damaged by bulldozing and demolition operations in the recent incursion, while some houses were completely demolished.

The occupation destroyed the already destroyed infrastructure in the camp, in addition to bulldozing streets that had been partially restored as a result of the repeated incursions into the city of Jenin and its camp.

For long hours after the occupation withdrew, electricity was still cut off in large parts of Jenin camp and the surrounding neighborhoods.
