Israel’s continuing raids in Tulkarem and Jenin

Israeli forces are inflicting “widespread destruction” in the city and refugee camp of Tulkarem


Palestinians in Jenin suffer without food, water as weeklong raid drags on

Jenin has been besieged for around a week now. Residents continue to see Israeli forces destroying their streets and infrastructure.

People here were unprepared for the large-scale raid, and many are now out of food, drinking water or medicine.

We talked to one family where the mother has diabetes. She has been suffering without her medicine. The family risked leaving the refugee camp to look for medicine but found all the shops closed. They had to return home as they heard Israeli forces inching closer to their neighbourhood.

Palestinians do not know how they are going to get through the day, let alone the upcoming days. Who knows when this invasion is going to end?


‘Palestinian flag will not be replaced by the white flag’

Israel’s deadly raids have been taking place across the occupied West Bank for more than a week now. At least 33 people have been killed, including children, and dozens wounded.

Meet Khairi Hannoun in the occupied West Bank, who waves Palestinian flags in front of Israeli bulldozers and atop the rubble of destroyed houses in a show of resilience:


Israel wants to make occupation of West Bank ‘stronger’

Palestinian reporter Leila Warah says Israel’s latest assault in the occupied West Bank is not a counterterrorism operation as it claims, but an attempt to “fortify the occupation”.

“They want to make their occupation stronger so that in the long run, they can take over the West Bank and turn it into part of the Israeli state, which we’re already seeing,” she told Al Jazeera.

Moreover, she said despite Israel’s military operations to “suppress” Palestinian resistance, it is unlikely to work.

“It just creates more resistance, more people coming forward and resisting … these are very young Palestinian men with very limited resources who are desperate to not be living under occupation,” she added.


Reporter witnesses wreckage in occupied West Bank as gunfire rings out

The Israeli military’s assault on the occupied West Bank has killed at least 30 Palestinians, among them 14-year-old Mohammad Kanaan, who was shot dead by an Israeli sniper in Tulkarem.

Gunshots were heard as Al Jazeera’s Nida Ibrahim was on the scene.
