THIS IS A WARZONE: Israeli Jew in Jenin Refugee Camp
As an Israeli Jew, despite multiple warnings and having to circumnavigate the entire country to get there, I visited Jenin Refugee Camp, Palestine.
In late February 2025, Israeli forces deployed tanks to Jenin - the first such deployment since 2002 - as part of a broader operation aimed at dismantling militant groups (Hamas and Islamic Jihad) in the region.

The refugee camp is completely demolished and has become a ghost town. Come along as we meet the Palestinians of Jenin, listen to their stories, and witness reality unfolding.
