QNA

Occupied Jerusalem: Israeli occupation forces continue the aggression on the city of Jenin and its camp for the 16th consecutive day, leaving 25 martyrs, dozens of injuries, detentions, house bombings, siege, forced displacement, and widespread destruction of infrastructure.

Jenin Civil Defense rescue teams were able on Tuesday evening to evacuate an injured young man from the demolished building in the Al Damj neighborhood in Jenin camp, despite the difficulty they endured due to the large amount of destruction in the camp's streets, roads, and entrances.

The occupation forces continue to besiege Jenin Governmental Hospital, after bulldozing its entrance and the main street leading to it.

According to the director of Jenin Governmental Hospital, the hospital is almost empty, except for some emergency cases that can reach it, due to the Israeli procedures and harassment of patients entering or exiting it, as it used to serve 40,000 people in the Jenin Governorate.

The occupation continues its operations of demolishing and destroying homes in the Jenin refugee camp, while constantly deploying military reinforcements from the Al Jalama military checkpoint to its surroundings.
