10 Killed as Israel Launches Attack on Jenin

Since mid-December, 2024, Israel’s military operations in the Jenin refugee camp have displaced 2,000 families, rendering the area “nearly uninhabitable,” according to Roland Friedrich, director of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA).

Meanwhile Israeli forces have encircled the Al Razi hospital in the Jenin refugee camp in the West Bank. Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz calls it a “security strategy shift,” while the Red Crescent reports ambulances blocked from reaching the injured.

The Israeli army launched, Tuesday, a large-scale attack on Jenin and its refugee camp after the Palestinian Authority security forces withdrew from the area.

Israeli occupation forces, accompanied by bulldozers, drones, and warplanes, stormed the city of Jenin and its refugee camp, launching an unprecedented military onslaught. The initial death toll since the onset of the aggression has reached 10, with nearly 40 others injured.

    Al-Azhar Denounces Aid Stoppage to Gaza

    Al-Azhar, Egypt’s prestigious Islamic institution, denounced Israel on Monday for barring humanitarian aid from entering Gaza, labeling the move a “crime of starving innocent children, women and men” that disregards the sanctity of the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan.

    The statement, posted on X, condemned Israel’s “cowardly decision” to halt aid convoys as a flagrant violation of human values.

    The statement emphasized that Israel, in perpetrating this act, “deprives innocent civilians of food, showing a complete disregard for mercy and human values,” particularly during Ramadan according to Anadolu.

    The institution called on Islamic governments to utilize their diplomatic and political tools to break the oppressive siege on Gaza’s hungry population during the holy month.

    It warned that the blockade is intended to force Palestinians to choose between dying of hunger or fleeing Gaza, giving up their land to the occupying entity.

    Al-Azhar urged Islamic countries and the international community to demand the immediate opening of border crossings, facilitate the entry of aid convoys and hold Israel accountable for its crimes.

    The statement called for war criminals responsible for some of the most horrific acts in modern history to face trial and justice.

    The Israeli government halted the entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza on Sunday as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu refused to start negotiations on the second phase of a ceasefire deal between Israel and the Palestinian group Hamas.

    The agreement has halted Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza, which has killed nearly 48,400 people, mostly women and children, and left the enclave in ruins.
