Israeli army destroys hundreds of homes in Jenin refugee camp: Municipality

The municipality of Jenin reported on Saturday that its refugee camp in the northern West Bank has become “uninhabitable” following the Israeli army’s destruction of approximately 600 homes, amid the ongoing Israeli offensive that has persisted for over two months.

A statement from the Jenin municipality said: “The Jenin Refugee Camp has become entirely uninhabitable due to the continued Israeli assault on the 68th day, with widespread bulldozing, burning of homes, and turning others into military barracks.”

The municipality added that the Israeli forces are also enforcing a severe blockade on the Jenin governorate, which is home to around 360,000 people.

“The Israeli army has destroyed around 600 homes and completely wiped out the camp’s infrastructure,” it said.

Meanwhile, the media committee in the Jenin refugee camp announced that 3,250 housing units within the camp have been rendered uninhabitable due to the ongoing assault.
