The same Israeli forces that have waged a brutal assault on Gaza for the past 15 months are now targeting Jenin, in the occupied West Bank, with equally violent methods. The aggression on Jenin, which has been ongoing for five days, mirrors the tactics used in Gaza: the forced displacement of families, destruction of homes, and widespread intimidation under the pressure of fire and threats.

The scenes of forced evacuation from the Jenin camp are reminiscent of the forced displacement experienced by Gaza's residents. The Israeli military opened fire on homes in Jenin, burned entire neighborhoods, and forced civilians to evacuate, dictating a single escape route. This method of destruction and displacement is a tragic repetition of what has occurred in Gaza, particularly in areas like the Jabalia camp in northern Gaza.

During the evacuation in Jenin, the Israeli forces detained several citizens, particularly young men, while allowing others to leave. This mirrors the treatment of Palestinians in Gaza, where many have been detained or harassed during their displacement. Civilians fleeing Jenin had to walk for miles, even leaving behind the elderly and sick, as the Israeli military refused to allow them to travel by vehicle—another horrifying parallel to the situation in Gaza.

The destruction in Jenin extends beyond homes and civilians; the Israeli military has cut off electricity to the camp and destroyed vital infrastructure, including roads. Hospitals, such as Jenin Governmental and Ibn Sina, have had their power cut, forcing them to operate on limited fuel supplies. This is eerily similar to the Israeli military's actions in Gaza, where hospitals like Kamal Adwan and Al-Shifa were bombed, leading to the deaths of patients and medical staff.
