Authorities in the occupied West Bank city of Jenin announced
<https://t.me/thecradlemedia/29163> that tens of thousands of Palestinians
have been displaced from the city’s refugee camp as a result of the ongoing
Israeli operation there.

The Jenin Governorate said in a statement on 30 January that “most of the
Jenin Camp residents, estimated at 20,000 citizens, were displaced as a
result of the Israeli aggression.”

It added that “about 400,000 Palestinian citizens have been affected by the
siege and aggression on Jenin.”

The Israeli operation in Jenin – dubbed Iron Wall – has entered its 10th
day. At least 16 Palestinians have been killed. The operation also includes
violent Israeli army raids in other areas of the West Bank, such as Nablus
and Tulkarem.

from the Jenin and Tulkarem Camps.

Sixty homes have been demolished by Israeli forces in Jenin Camp, Hebrew
newspaper *Yedioth Ahronoth *reported on 30 January. An Israeli airstrike
targeted a building in Jenin Camp on the same day. “A warplane bombed a
building inside Jenin Camp with two missiles,” according to WAFA
<https://english.wafa.ps/Pages/Details/154108> news agency.

Israel’s military also deployed reinforcements toward Tulkarem on Thursday.

Meanwhile, the resistance in Jenin announced several operations against
invading Israeli forces. The Jenin Brigade of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad
(PIJ) movement’s Quds Brigades said in a statement on Thursday afternoon
that it “detonated a KJ37 land explosive device in a military jeep … to cut
off the path of the rescue and support force that rushed to rescue a force
that had fallen into a field of fire while trying to fortify itself in one
of the [Jenin] camp’s houses, achieving confirmed casualties.”

Earlier, the Jenin Brigade said its fighters were engaged in heavy gun
battles with Israeli troops in Jenin Camp.

An Israeli soldier was reportedly killed, <https://t.me/paltoday_tv/289803>
and two others were seriously wounded, according to Israeli media reports.

The clashes come a day after 10 Palestinians were killed in an airstrike
<https://t.me/thecradlemedia/29129> on the town of Tamun in the Tubas
governorate of the occupied West Bank.

“We declared a war on Palestinian terror in the occupied West Bank.
Operation Iron Wall comes to defeat the terror infrastructure built in the
Palestinian refugee camps with Iranian financing and supply. [Jenin Camp]
will not return to be what it was. After the operation is completed,
Israeli troops will remain in the camp to make sure the terror does not
return,” Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said on 29 January.

“I send a clear message from here to the Palestinian Authority (PA): Stop
funding terrorism and murder of Jews, and start fighting terror seriously.
Anyone who funds the families of terrorists and murderers, and educates his
children to destroy Israel, endangers his very existence,” he added.

Prior to Tel Aviv’s operation in Jenin, the PA waged an indiscriminate
six-week siege and military campaign against the city’s camp on behalf of
Israel. PA forces have also taken part in the new Israeli operation in
Jenin.
