Local Palestinian news organisations have shared video clips said to show the destruction inflicted on civilian infrastructure in Jenin and its refugee camp by Israeli forces during their siege of the city.
Israeli forces withdrew from the city and camp in the early hours of Friday morning after laying siege to both for 10 days, causing residents to flee and imposing great hardship for locals who were short of food, water, and cut off from electricity.

Israel taking its ‘brutal crimes’ in Gaza to West Bank: Palestinian Foreign Ministry
The Palestinian Foreign Ministry has accused Israel of taking the “brutal crimes” committed in Gaza to the occupied West Bank. It called on the international community to act in accordance with the principles it claims to uphold, including the protection of human rights.
In a statement, the ministry said the raids conducted in Jenin and Tulkarem were “a clear targeting of Palestinian civilians and the foundations of their national and human existence on their homeland”.

More Israeli settler attacks reported in West Bank
Wafa is reporting that armed settlers attacked a gathering in Arab al-Malihat, northwest of Jericho, and detained several families inside their homes.
Hassan Malihat, from the Al-Baidar Organisation for the Defense of Bedouin Rights, said Israeli forces arrested the brothers Muhammad, Hamza and Farhat Kaabneh after they were assaulted and detained by the settlers.
In the town of Deir Dibwan, east of Ramallah, settlers burned vehicles belonging to Palestinian residents, Wafa reported.
These attacks come amid a surge in Israeli military and settler violence against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, which has unfolded in the shadow of Israel’s war on the Gaza Strip. In mid-August, Israeli settlers ravaged the village of Jit in an overnight attack that killed one 23-year-old man and injured several others.

According to the Palestinian news agency Wafa, the activist was volunteering as part of a campaign to protect Palestinian farmers.
