The Israeli military has justified the attack as a “broad counter-terrorist effort” to wipe out the Jenin Brigade, the “main focus of terrorism” in the West Bank.
The Israeli army has withdrawn from the Jenin refugee campin the occupied West Bank, and ends the military operation that has provisionally ended with 12 Palestinians and an Israeli soldier killed.
Israel’s military incursion, which lasted about 48 hours, was the largest in the West Bank since the Second Intifada (2000-2005). For her, they deployed both ground forces and aviation for the first time in twenty years.
The State of Israel has justified the attack as a “broad anti-terrorist effort” to wipe out the Jenin Brigade, the “main focus of terrorism” in the West Bank.
So far, Israel has killed 12 Palestinians. During the withdrawal, an Israeli soldier was shot dead.
The Jenin refugee camp is completely destroyed, without electricity or water. In the early morning, some residents have begun to return to their homes. About 3,000 had fled.
In addition, at the beginning of the withdrawal, the army carried out an airstrike against Palestinians who were in a cemetery on the outskirts of the refugee camp and who “posed a threat to the security forces as they left the refugee camp”.
In the Gaza Strip, Hamas has responded by firing five intercepted rockets at Israel, and the Israeli army has bombed Palestinian organization positions.
