Israeli forces killed nine Palestinians during a military raid on Jenin that lasted more than 48 hours between Wednesday and Thursday. Local residents told - that Israeli forces entered Jenin's industrial zone late Wednesday night and headed toward the city's refugee camp, where they confronted Palestinian fighters. The Israeli army also seized several rooftops and installed snipers on the perimeter of the refugee camp.
Shortly before the invasion of the refugee camp began, Israeli forces raided the village of Kufr Dan, west of the city of Jenin, where the Palestinian Red Crescent said its teams had treated a Palestinian wounded by a bullet in the chest. The Israeli army told the Palestinian Civil Liaison Office that it had killed two other men in Kufr Dan and kept their bodies. Meanwhile, an Israeli drone bombed a Palestinian car traveling between the villages of Yamun and Burqin, west of Jenin, and killed at least one Palestinian.
In the refugee camp, the Israeli army pushed military bulldozers through the alleys of the camp, destroying several streets and facades of houses, while Israeli soldiers raided in search of weapons and fighters, according to local testimonies .
Meanwhile, Israeli forces besieged a house in the “martyrs' triangle” area at the entrance to the city, and ordered three men inside to surrender. The men refused, which led to a brief exchange of fire, according to Palestinian media, and ended with the killing of the Palestinians inside.
During the attack, Israeli forces guarded the bodies of five slain Palestinians and arrested an unknown number of people, including a woman. Israeli soldiers also questioned several Palestinians on the ground, while Israeli bulldozers completely destroyed “school street” and partially destroyed a public playground in the eastern part of the city.
Jenin has been at the center of the Israeli offensive in the West Bank since October 7 last year. Since the start of 2024, Israeli forces have killed 141 Palestinians in Jenin, and 215 since October 7 last year, representing the highest number of Palestinians killed by Israel, followed by Tulkarem, where Israeli forces have killed 125 Palestinians since the start of 2024 and 185 since October 7 last year.
