that tens of thousands of Palestinians have been displaced from the
city’s refugee camp as a result of the ongoing Israeli operation there. </p><p>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.” </p><p>It added that “about 400,000 Palestinian citizens have been affected by the siege and aggression on Jenin.” </p><p>The Israeli operation in Jenin – dubbed Iron Wall – has entered its 10<sup>th</sup>
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. </p><p>Israeli troops have been systematically destroying homes and <a href="https://thecradle.co/articles/israel-uproots-palestinians-from-jenin-tulkarem-as-west-bank-operations-intensify">expelling residents</a> from the Jenin and Tulkarem Camps. </p><p>Sixty homes have been demolished by Israeli forces in Jenin Camp, Hebrew newspaper <i>Yedioth Ahronoth </i>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 <a href="https://english.wafa.ps/Pages/Details/154108">WAFA</a> news agency.</p><p>Israel’s military also deployed reinforcements toward Tulkarem on Thursday. </p><p>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.” </p><div class="gmail-twitter-tweet gmail-twitter-tweet-rendered" style="display:flex;max-width:550px;width:100%;margin-top:10px;margin-bottom:10px"></div> <p>Earlier, the Jenin Brigade said its fighters were engaged in heavy gun battles with Israeli troops in Jenin Camp.</p><p>An Israeli soldier was reportedly<a href="https://t.me/paltoday_tv/289803"> killed,</a> and two others were seriously wounded, according to Israeli media reports. </p><p>The clashes come a day after 10 Palestinians were killed in an<a href="https://t.me/thecradlemedia/29129"> airstrike</a> on the town of Tamun in the Tubas governorate of the occupied West Bank. </p><p>“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. </p><p>“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. </p><p>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. </p></span></div></div></div></div>
