July 03, 2023

Al-Qassam Website - Israeli occupation forces (IOF) have launched an all-out aggression against the occupied West Bank city of Jenin, killing at least twelve Palestinians and injuring more than 120 others, 20 in critical condition, early on Monday.

Israeli occupation warplanes carried out at least ten air strikes in occupied Jenin as plumes of smoke were seen rising above the wreckage of buildings, while more than 100 Israeli occupation armoured vehicles stormed the city.

The Palestinian Ministry of Health reported that the raids killed at least eight Palestinian people and wounded dozens others, many of whom were in critical condition.

The martyrs have been identified as Samih Firas Abu al-Wafa, Husam Mohammad Abu Deibeh, and Aws al-Hanoun, all shot in the chest, and Nour Eddin Husam Marshoud.

In another attack, the occupation forces shot dead 21-year-old Palestinian Mohammed Hasanin at the entrance to the occupied West Bank city of al-Bireh, the Palestinian health ministry confirmed.

On the second day of the brutal offensive against Jenin, the Palestinian health ministry confirmed the martyrdom of a Palestinian, not yet identified, after he was shot dead by the Israeli occupying soldiers.

Witnesses observed Israeli occupation army bulldozers demolishing homes and streets in Jenin, resulting in heaps of debris scattered throughout the area.

Due to the ongoing attack, the refugee camp in Jenin has been deprived of water and electricity services, as confirmed by the municipality. The Palestine Red Crescent reported that a minimum of 3,000 individuals were evacuated from Jenin.

The Jenin refugee camp is currently experiencing the largest Israeli occupation's military offensive in the occupied territory since the second Intifada (uprising). This ongoing attack involves both ground and air operations.
