The Israeli military set fire to five Palestinian homes in the Jenin Refugee Camp in the northern part of the occupied West Bank, where they have been conducting attacks for the past three days.
According to eyewitnesses, Israeli forces evacuated five homes belonging to the “Masharika” family in the Gubar neighborhood of the Jenin camp.
The Israeli soldiers then set these homes on fire.
After the cease-fire in Gaza came into effect on Jan. 19, Israel launched an attack on Jenin on Jan. 21, 2025, which it named “Iron Wall.”
The Israeli military’s ongoing attacks on the city of Jenin and the refugee camp have resulted in 12 Palestinian deaths and 40 injuries.
Additionally, it was reported that the Israeli army has caused disruptions in water, electricity, and communication infrastructure in Jenin, leading to power cuts and the destruction of homes in the area.
