Israeli forces withdraw from Jenin after 10 days of military assault

The operation, one of the most violent since 2002, caused widespread destruction and serious injuries to numerous individuals.

Local residents, while relieved by the departure, remain on edge, fearing the possibility of a return by Israeli forces. Jenin has been the target of repeated incursions in the past, with the occupation forces re-entering the city and its refugee camp following similar withdrawals. The ongoing presence of Israeli military checkpoints surrounding the city further heightens these concerns.

The assault has been widely condemned for its severity, with extensive damage reported throughout the Jenin governorate. The residents continue to grapple with the aftermath of the attack, as rebuilding efforts are expected to be challenging amid fears of renewed violence. (ILKHA)
