Israel had to go in Jenin which is in Samaria today, July 3, 2023. These are the military armoured vehicles. Around 2,000 Israeli soldiers are currently engaged in an arrest operation in the city, and the army has warned that the operation could last several days. In 2007, Jenin had a population of approximately 40,000 people, whilst the Jenin refugee camp had a population of 10,000. Jenin is under the administration of the Palestinian National Authority (as part of Area A of the West Bank).
- Nearly 30 Israelis have been killed in attacks by Arabs inside the West Bank and in Israel over the last year, AP reports. These are murders, for the Israelis are killed out of the blue without a chance of knowing what's happening or even why. Israelis have had it, and are starting to give to them what they have been forced to put up with; all these attacks. If their government couldn't stop it, they would try. That's why at the same time, Israeli settler attacks against Palestinians and their homes and cars have increased as well.
You wouldn't guess that this town is so full of terrorists, but Israel finds that they have grown immensely in size, so bad that they had to use planes to fight with before going in by foot to prevent their terrorism. While nightly raids have become commonplace in the West Bank in the past year, this was exceptional. For only the second time since the end of the second intifada in 2005 – and the second time in the last two weeks – the army carried out airstrikes before sending in ground troops.
Worthless as a peace partner, an anti-Semite who said No 3 times to peace, a creator of misinformation about Israel and Israel is expected to deal with him and be happy with another Gaza right on their border, Mahmoud Abbas, and he's the best they have to offer with power? What's his power, anyway?
It's quite disgusting to me that Abbas refuses to admit that the Palestinians have been attacking Jews of Israel since before 1948 and continue to this day, or that they attended the meeting in Egypt of NO No No peace with Israel after the 1967 war, the reason why Israel fights them in defense of their people. Instead, he takes an inexcusable defensive pose doing things and saying things like: “What is meant by the crimes that … Abbas spoke of are the massacres committed against the Palestinian people since the Nakba by Israeli forces, crimes that have not stopped to this day,” the statement concluded. This refers to the establishment of Israel in 1948, called al-Nakba or “the catastrophe” by Palestinians, after more than 700,000 Palestinians were either expelled from or fled their homes during the resulting Arab-Israeli war. (It was the Arab leaders themselves that told the Palestinians to flee and that after their fighting, they'd be able to return and take over the Jewish homes.)This is not the first time that Abbas has made remarks deemed antisemitic. As a doctoral student in the Soviet Union in the 1980s, Abbas wrote a thesis that alleged a secret relationship between Nazis and early advocates for a Jewish state, according to Reuters. His claims resurfaced as an issue in 2018, when he said that Jews living in Europe had suffered since the 11th century “not because of their religion, [but] it was because of their social profession.”
The PA (Palestinian Authority with Abbas leading has had no control at all. They are the first line of defense being responsible for the behavior of the Palestinians of Jenin. He's 88 years old and must have given up trying.
Jenin is a Palestinian town in Samaria. It's mentioned as Gina in the Tel el Amarna tablets, and is probably also the biblical En Gannim mentioned in Joshua 19:21. In Roman times it was called Ginaea.
Jenin had a small Jewish community in the 17th century. It was a center of Arab nationalist fanaticism in the 1930's. Jenin was part of Jordan from 1948 to the 1967 War. In 1967 its population was 8,346 apart from the 5,019 Arab refugees in the vicinity.

The Jenin refugee camp , also known as the Jenin camp , is a Palestinian refugee camp located in the city of Jenin in the northern West Bank. It was established in 1953 to house Palestinians who fled or were expelled from their homes during and in the aftermath of the 1948 Palestine War. The camp has since become a stronghold of Palestinian militants, and has become known as "the martyr's capital" by Palestinians, and "the hornet's nest" by the Israel Defense Forces.
REFUGEE CAMPS IN THE WEST BANK
The camp was the location of several incidents relating to the Israeli–Palestinian conflict, most notably the 2002 Battle of Jenin between Israel and Palestinian militants and the 2022 killing of Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh, and remains the site of frequent clashes between Israeli forces and Palestinians.
The camp has a high population density, estimated at 33,000/km2 by the UNRWA. Refugees in the camp face difficult living conditions, which are caused in part by Israeli restrictions of probably not allowing material in there that can be used as weapons. The camp has a high unemployment rate compared to the rest of the West Bank, and many refugees live in substandard shelters, with poor sewage networks and common shortages in water and electricity.
UNRWA evidently is responsible for the upkeep of the camp. They coordinated and implemented the reconstruction of the camp. An additional piece of land (the size of roughly 3 per cent of the original Jenin camp surface area) was developed adjacent to the camp, which reduced overcrowding.
Today, protection issues remain a primary concern for residents of Jenin camp. Both Israeli and Palestinian forces conduct regular operations in the camp that often result in clashes and violence. In 2014, four refugees were killed during these operations. The violence has also had a significant impact on the emotional and psychosocial well-being of young children especially.
Jenin also experiences one of the highest rates of unemployment and poverty among the 19 West Bank refugee camps. Many residents previously relied upon work in Israel, which has been severely curtailed since the construction of the Barrier and the implementation of the permit regime. The Barrier and permits came about because of the Palestinian insistence of terrorizing and attacks on Israelis. In essence, they bite the hand that is trying to feed them.
Unemployment and poverty has affected the youth especially, resulting in widespread dissatisfaction and frustration and contributing to higher school dropout rates among younger children. Their acts of violence affect their own children negatively more than that of the Israelis, who do everything to defend their own children from these attacks. Israelis have bomb shelters for their citizens.
