According to local sources and eyewitnesses, the army conducted a wide-scale arrest campaign in the refugee camp, and evacuated residents in the Damaj neighborhood from their homes amid intense confrontations.
The sources added that the Israeli army also bombed a house with a drone, and demolished infrastructures such as water, electricity, and sewage networks with bulldozers.
Jenin has long been a center for Palestinian resistance groups. Israel says the camp is a hub for planning and preparing militant attacks as well as a safe haven for fighters funded by Hamas or the Islamic Jihad group.
