On Thursday, the Israeli army continued its offensive on the Jenin refugee camp in the north of the occupied Palestinian West Bank for the third consecutive day. The offensive, dubbed “Iron Wall” has killed 10 Palestinians so far, and left at least 40 wounded.
Israeli forces launched its offensive on Jenin early on Tuesday with air strikes on the refugee camp as well as an incursion by special forces, positioning snipers overlooking the camp. This initial attack was soon followed by large armored forces from the northern, eastern, and western sides of Jenin, accompanied by helicopter gunships that opened fire on Palestinians from the air, and Israeli D-9 bulldozers which destroyed streets and other already-damaged infrastructure.
