Near-nightly raids
Jenin’s refugee camp last month was the website of the biggest Israeli offensive in the occupied West Bank in almost 20 years. Twelve Palestinians, consisting of a minimum of 8 fighters, and one Israeli soldier, were eliminated in the raid, which required thousands to leave their houses and left big swaths of the camp in ruins.
Stress in the occupied area have actually magnified considering that early in 2015 when Israel started its near-nightly raids into Palestinian locations.
More than 200 Palestinians have actually been eliminated this year in the occupied Palestinian areas and the Gaza Strip, the bulk in the occupied West Bank.
