Residents say they were trapped by soldiers for days, cut off from food and electricity
Palestinians have been forced out of their homes in Jenin during an Israeli raid in the occupied West Bank city on 31 August 2024
Israeli soldiers have forcibly removed Palestinians from their homes in Jenin as a major offensive in the occupied West Bank enters its fourth day.
Residents told Middle East Eye that many are trapped in their homes without access to food, water or electricity, as Israeli forces maintain a tight siege on the city.
Dozens of families have been forced out of their homes in raids conducted by Israeli troops.
"We were cut off from the world, with no communication or internet, and we didn’t know anything about what was happening,” Abdul Rahman Abu Raya, a Jenin resident, told Middle East Eye.
Abu Raya said troops stormed his home and forced all family members, including 12 children, into two rooms after the raid began on Wednesday
