Israeli forces blow up house in Jenin, detain five Palestinians

JENIN: Israeli occupation forces Wednesday evening blew up a house and detained five Palestinians from the occupied West Bank city of Jenin, according to WAFA correspondent. She said that as part of their ongoing aggression on the Jenin city and camp, the occupation forces rounded up five young men from al-Jaberiyyat neighborhood and detonated a house. Earlier today, the occupation forces barged their way into the city, besieged the Ibn Sina and Jenin Government Hospitals, and inspected ambulances on their way into and out of the hospitals. Escorting bulldozers, the forces razed several streets in the vicinity of the Khaled bin al-Walid Mosque and ravaged infrastructure in the vicinity of the local municipal playground as well as in the eastern and al-Almaniya neighbourhoods. The gun-toting soldiers raided the Jenin refugee camp, deploying troops and stationing army vehicles in several neighbourhoods, at a time when the troops broke into several houses in As-Sumran neighbourhood, conducted thorough search es and flew drones over the neighbourhood. The occupation forces frequently raid Palestinian houses almost daily across the West Bank on the pretext of searching for 'wanted' Palestinians, triggering clashes with residents. These raids are conducted with no need for a search warrant, whenever and wherever the military chooses in keeping with its sweeping arbitrary powers. Under Israeli military law army commanders have full executive, legislative and judicial authority over 3 million Palestinians living in the West Bank. Palestinians have no say in how this authority is exercised. Source: Palestine news & Information Agency - WAFA
