Israeli army escalates assaults inside Jenin
Jenin - Saba:
On Monday, the Zionist enemy forces continued their aggression on the city of Jenin and its camp for the 126th consecutive day, expanding their bulldozing and destruction operations inside the camp, with the aim of changing its features and structure.
The Palestinian News Agency (WAFA) quoted Jenin Mayor Muhammad Jarrar as saying that since the beginning of the aggression on Jenin and its camp, nearly four months ago, approximately 22,000 residents have been displaced from the camp and its surroundings, posing significant challenges to the Jenin Municipality on both the humanitarian and economic fronts.
He explained that the percentage of displaced persons has reached 25% of the city's total population, creating challenges on all fronts, including economic, social, environmental, service, and health.
Jarar estimated the extent of the destruction resulting from the ongoing aggression on the city and its camp at approximately $300 million, asserting that the enemy is deliberately carrying out widespread destruction to transform the camp and its surroundings into an uninhabitable area.
He added that the enemy forces completely destroyed the infrastructure in Jenin camp. Municipality crews estimate that 600 homes were completely destroyed, in addition to the partial destruction of other housing units. He also noted that 4,000 workers lost their jobs due to the aggression.
He pointed out that municipal crews have begun repairs in several areas of Jenin city, including resurfacing and repairing entrances to allow residents to enter. They have also resurfaced and repaired major streets in the city, including Nazareth and Bayader streets. The water network in the eastern neighborhood has been completely repaired, as has half of the sewage network in the same area, at a cost of 17 million shekels. The street behind Ibn Sina Hospital in the city center has also been rehabilitated.
According to the Palestinian Prisoners' Club, the enemy has arrested approximately 1,000 citizens from Jenin and Tulkarm over the past four months, including those who were later released.
On the ground, Israeli forces arrested four young men from the town of Qabatiya yesterday after raiding and searching their homes. Their vehicles also stormed the town of Burqin to the west and raided the gas station there.
In the city of Jenin, Israeli soldiers stationed around Jenin Governmental Hospital arrested a young man.
Villages in the Jenin Governorate are witnessing near-daily raids as the aggression against the city and camp continues. Daily military movements are recorded in most villages of the governorate, along with the constant presence of Israeli patrols and vehicles.
The Israeli army continues to send military reinforcements to and around Jenin camp and continues to fire live ammunition intensively inside it.
The aggression has so far resulted in the deaths of 40 citizens and more than 200 injuries.

Popular Front for Liberation of Palestine: U.S. Veto confirms direct complicity in Gaza Genocide
Gaza – SABA: The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) strongly condemned the U.S. administration's use of the veto at the United Nations Security Council on Wednesday, which blocked a draft resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in the Gaza Strip. In a statement received by the Yemeni News Agency (SABA), the PFLP described this move as a brazen continuation of the U.S. role in covering up the ongoing genocide committed by the Zionist enemy against the Palestinian people. The statement read: 'It is not surprising that the U.S. administration would take such a position. It is directly participating in the aggression on Gaza by supplying the Zionist enemy with the most lethal internationally banned weapons, while granting it political and legal cover to continue its dirty war against our defenseless people.' The PFLP emphasized that the U.S. veto represents a deliberate insistence by the U.S. administration on direct involvement in the ongoing humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza, making it morally and legally responsible for the massacres and genocide being committed—particularly against children, women, civilians, and the displaced. The group further stated that the American veto is another chapter in the historical hostility of successive U.S. administrations toward the Palestinian people. It exposes the deep moral hypocrisy in American policy, which justifies the crimes of the Zionist enemy and gives it a green light to continue the slaughter. The PFLP held the U.S. fully responsible for this decision and called on freedom-loving people within the United States to stand against these criminal policies and to continue efforts aimed at ending the U.S. complicity with the Zionist entity in the atrocities being committed against the Palestinian people.

U.S. Veto Blocks UN Security Council Resolution to Stop Genocide in Gaza
New York – SABA: The United Nations Security Council failed to pass a resolution on Wednesday evening calling for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, after the United States used its veto power to block the measure. The draft resolution, submitted by several member states including Algeria, Slovenia, and Denmark, called for an immediate halt to hostilities in Gaza. The U.S. veto demonstrated Washington's ongoing support for the Israeli occupation, which continues to commit acts of genocide and daily massacres against the Palestinian people in Gaza. Fourteen out of the fifteen Security Council members voted in favor of the resolution. Only the United States voted against, using its veto to prevent its adoption. With continued American and European backing, the Israeli military has, since October 7, 2023, carried out a campaign in Gaza that has resulted in the martyrdom of 54,607 Palestinians, most of them women and children, and the injury of 125,341 others. These figures remain incomplete, as thousands of victims are still trapped under rubble and in streets unreachable by rescue and medical crews. Whatsapp Telegram Email Print more of (International)
