Israeli occupation forces continued their assault on the city and refugee camp of Jenin in occupied West Bank for the fourth consecutive day, resulting in the deaths of 12 Palestinians, numerous injuries and arrests, and widespread destruction of infrastructure and property.Jenin Deputy Governor Mansour al Saadi, told reporters that occupation forces have blocked all four entrances to the city and camp with dirt barriers, preventing movement in and out. He warned of difficulties faced by patients and medical staff at Jenin Government Hospital due to power cuts and fuel shortages caused by the ongoing Israeli attack.Al Saadi confirmed that airstrikes and raids are ongoing, and that hundreds of residents have been forced to flee the camp.In another report, local sources told Palestinian News Agency (WAFA) that the Israeli forces set fire to homes in Jenin camp and blocked civil defense teams from reaching the area to put out the flames.Occupation forces also imposed a curfew on Palestinians inside the camp, forcing hundreds of families to abandon their homes at gunpoint. Only one route was left open, forcing them to pass through eye and facial recognition cameras.Five Palestinians were wounded last night by gunfire from Israeli forces as raids continued.Electricity has been cut off to Jenin camp and surrounding areas, causing power outages at Jenin Government Hospital and Ibn Sina Hospital, while crews from the local electricity company were blocked from repairing network.On Tuesday, Israel launched a large-scale assault on the city and camp of Jenin, which has so far claimed the lives of 12 Palestinians, left 40 others injured, displaced nearly 2,000 people to nearby villages, and caused extensive damage to city's infrastructure, according to official Palestinian sources.
