Israel has initiated an unrepeated military operation since the 2000 Second Intifada in the occupied West Bank area in the city of Jenin. They have attacked the city's refugee camp on Monday, at least ten Palestinians have been killed and 100 wounded, 20 of them serious, according to The Guardian's Palestinian Ministry of Health. Jenin’s delegated government, Kamal Abu al-Roub, has decided that there will be over 3,000 Palestinians and Palestinians fleeing Israel’s aggression, and says they are preparing schools and hostels for them.
Drone strikes have been lasting. The Israeli Defence Forces have announced a military operation of over one thousand soldiers and hundreds of troops. According to Israel, the operation has been against “terrorism in the city’s refugee camp and Jenin.”
The Palestinians denounce that the operation has been a war crime and Jihad Islamikoa warns that they are willing to “resist” and that Jenin will again be “a sign of strength”. Khaled Alahmad, of the Palestinian paramedic, explains to The Guardian that the situation of the Jenin refugee camp is “a real war”: “Air strikes towards the camp are falling. We travel with five or seven ambulances and on each trip we return filled with wounded.”
The camp was conducted in the 1950s and currently nearly 18,000 Palestinians live. The Jenin camp has been associated for years with the armed resistance of the Palestinians, which Israel often calls “terrorism”.
The BDS of Euskal Herria (Israeli boycott, divestment and sanctions) has called for a mobilisation on Wednesday at 19:30 in the Arenal of Bilbao. The protest is called “stop massacre in Palestine” and denounces that Israel is a “terrorist state”.
