Israeli occupation forces have sustained their assault on the Palestinian city of Jenin and its refugee camp for the 98th consecutive day, as humanitarian conditions within the camp and among displaced residents continue to deteriorate.
The camp is witnessing extensive bulldozing operations, arson attacks on homes, and the conversion of numerous houses into military outposts.
In an unprecedented escalation, Israeli occupation authorities demolished five homes this morning belonging to Palestinian citizens in the town of Idhna, in the southern part of the occupied West Bank.

Forced Displacement and Military Seizures
Israeli occupation forces compelled on Sunday night 20 families to evacuate their homes in the Al-Zahraa neighborhood near the camp, subsequently turning the properties into military posts.
Occupation ground troops also stormed multiple neighborhoods and streets across the city, terrorizing residents and raiding dozens of homes. Although no arrests were reported, the situation inside the camp remains dire as Zionist forces continue demolition operations under a total media blackout.
Widespread Destruction and Siege
The Israeli assault has resulted in the complete destruction of approximately 600 homes, while the remaining houses have sustained partial damages, rendering them uninhabitable.
The camp is now sealed off by four iron gates and earth mounds, effectively transforming it into a closed military zone barred to civilians.
More than 22,000 residents have been forcibly displaced, and 380 homes have been evacuated under duress.
According to the Jenin Municipality, entire areas—including Al-Jabriyat, Shireen Abu Aqleh Street, and Wadi Burqin—have been fully evacuated. Additionally, all 3,470 homes within the camp itself have been emptied, alongside partial evacuations in the Al-Zahraa and Khallat Al-Ghabsh neighborhoods.
Since the onset of the Israeli offensive on Jenin and its camp, 39 Palestinians have been martyred and dozens more injured. The occupation forces have also arrested scores of residents during the ongoing assault.
Escalation in Tulkarm and Nour Shams Camps
Simultaneously, Zionist forces intensified their operations in Tulkarm and the Nour Shams refugee camp.
Occupation troops deployed heavily around the Shweika roundabout north of Tulkarm, firing live bullets and stun grenades while detaining citizens and vehicles.
In Nur Shams, Israeli forces arrested Qatada Assas and raised the Israeli enemy flag atop the Abu Diya family home, which had been previously seized and turned into a military base.
The siege on Nur Shams camp tightened further, with entrances sealed off by earth mounds, while residents of the Naser and Saleheen hills faced forced displacement under armed threats.
In Tulkarm city and its surroundings, raids, arrests, and beatings have become daily occurrences, alongside the confiscation of personal IDs and mobile phones. Bulldozing operations continue across streets and homes, as occupation forces maintain a heavy presence.

Over the past 92 days, Israeli forces have completely destroyed 396 homes and partially damaged 2,573 others in Tulkarm and Nour Shams camps. More than 24,000 residents—belonging to over 4,000 families—have been forcibly displaced, alongside hundreds more from the northern parts of Tulkarm city, where homes were seized and converted into military outposts.
Today, Tulkarm camp stands almost entirely emptied of its residents, as occupation forces persist with widespread destruction, road closures, and property seizures, particularly in Nablus Street and the northern neighborhoods.
