Israeli Style: Ethnic Cleansing of Jenin

Secretary-General of the Palestinian National Initiative Movement Mustafa Barghouti accused Israel of ethnic cleansing in the Jenin camp in the northern occupied West Bank.

Barghouti confirmed, Friday, that “the [Israel]  occupation is carrying out a dangerous ethnic cleansing operation in Jenin, forcing civilians and families to leave their homes on foot, after subjecting them to humiliating repression and strip searches.”

Barghouti explained what is happening in Jenin “reflects the statements of the Israeli Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi that the repressive goals and practices are similar between Gaza and the West Bank, as the latter is subjected to a campaign of collective punishment including checkpoints, arrests and abuse.”

Barghouti stressed the need to achieve Palestinian national unity to confront the ethnic cleansing and genocide committed by the Israeli occupation state against the Palestinians.

The Israeli occupation army continues for the fourth day to escalate its military operation against the Palestinians in the city of Jenin and its camp.

Over the past few days, the army has burned Palestinian homes, deployed heavy machinery to demolish more, and arrested dozens of Palestinians and transferred them to interrogation centers near the city.

Since Tuesday afternoon, the Israeli occupation army launched a large-scale military operation in Jenin under the name Iron Wall, which resulted in the killing of 12 Palestinians and the injury of 40 others until Thursday evening, according to official Palestinian sources as reported in Quds Press.

Israeli forces have bombed a tent housing Palestinian journalists near Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis in southern Gaza, killing two and wounding nine others while burning them alive.

At least nine journalists were injured. They are Ahmed Mansour, Hassan Eslaih, Ahmed Al-Agha, Mohammad Fayek, Abdallah Al-Attar, Ihab Al-Bardini, Mahmoud Awad, Majed Qdeih, and Ali Eslaih.

At least two of the wounded journalists are in critical condition, one of them with severe burns and the other with a head injury from shrapnel.

In a disturbing footage circulating on social media, journalist Ahmed Mansout can be seen consumed by fire as people and rescue workers tried desperately to put it out. Mansour is a father and a journalist for Palestine Today.

“(Israeli) Missiles burned Colleague Ahmed Mansour and is still in intensive care, suffering from severe burns as a result of the targeting of the tent where he is sitting in the journalists’ camp at Nasser Hospital,” Wael Abo Omar, a Palestinian journalist in the blockaded enclave, said on X.

Mahmoud Bassam, a photojournalist based in Gaza, said Mansour “needs a miracle” to recover from the severe burns.
