Embryo- The neighborhoods and neighborhoods of the city of Jenin in the northern West Bank woke up Tuesday morning to the sound of sirens in the middle of its camp, announcing the infiltration of Israeli special forces into the camp.
At the same time that the city’s schools were receiving their students, the occupation forces and their military vehicles were spreading in the streets and shooting anyone who moved.
A few minutes after the storming, the sounds of armed clashes began to be heard, then the martyrdom of teacher Allam Jaradat (45 years old) was announced in Jenin, while news spread of the injury of a number of students who found themselves surrounded by Israeli military vehicles penetrating the streets of the city.
Direct targeting
Mr. Allam – as his students call him – was heading in a private car, accompanied by a number of his colleagues, to their daily shift at Walid Abu Muwais Basic School in the center of the city of Jenin, when an Israeli sniper opened direct and intense fire on them. A bullet hit him in the head and another teacher was injured by shrapnel.
The car’s owner, Ahmed Jabareen, told Tel Aviv Tribune Net, “I am used to taking Professor Allam and three other of his colleagues to Walid Abu Muwais School, and today, shortly before eight o’clock, we were on our way, and a few meters before our arrival, we heard the sound of the siren in the camp.”
He continued, “After a few seconds, heavy shooting began at us. It was clear that it was a sniper. The bullets were very heavy on us. I froze in my place and could not move, and everyone in the car was screaming. After I gathered my strength, I tried to escape from the place.”
The driver and those with him in the car realized that their colleague Allam Jaradat was injured in the head after they managed to move a little away from the source of the shooting, and after transporting him to the hospital by car – as the ambulance was prevented from reaching them – the doctors informed them that he had been martyred.
Terrifying situation
“The situation was very terrifying as we saw blood flowing from Allam’s head. I tried to scream for someone to help us, but no one could reach us. He was martyred as soon as we arrived at the hospital. We were shot with the aim of killing, and this is very clear,” says Jabareen.
In the violent incursion – which came after about two months of calm in Jenin and its camp – the occupation forces killed the student Mahmoud Hamadneh (15 years old) and wounded 3 other students who were trying to return to their homes to escape the bullets of the Israeli snipers who were on top of the buildings and houses in the vicinity of the camp.
In the courtyard of Jenin Governmental Hospital, a large number of families gathered, who came to ask about their children after they were unable to reach them.
Within hours of the start of the storming, the Palestinian Ministry of Health announced the martyrdom of 7 citizens, including teacher Allam Jaradat, while the director of Jenin Governmental Hospital, Dr. Wissam Bakr, announced the martyrdom of the surgeon’s colleague, Asid Jabarin, near the hospital gate, where the shooting was concentrated in the vicinity of the hospital and the Talat al-Ghabz area in the camp. The explosion of explosive devices sounded in its streets.
Targeting a surgeon
The occupation forces killed surgeon Aseed Kamal Jabareen (51 years old) while he was heading to Jenin Governmental Hospital to treat the wounded in the raid described as the most difficult in recent months.
Director of Jenin Governmental Hospital, Wissam Bakr, told Tel Aviv Tribune Net, “After fellow surgeon Usaid Jabarin arrived at the hospital gate to begin his work, a sniper’s bullet hit him in the back and penetrated the main artery in the abdomen, causing him to bleed. He was taken to the emergency room and we tried to help him, but he died minutes later.” .
Bakr describes the martyrdom of surgeon Jabareen as a great loss for the hospital, as he is the head of the surgery department and has 22 years of experience in his field, and he witnessed almost all of the Jenin raids while at the helm of his work, and the hospital also relies heavily on him for general surgeries and complex injuries.
Bakr described the situation in the city of Jenin and the camp as difficult, and that the occupation forces were stationed in the vicinity of the hospital and at its main gate, while ambulance crews were prevented from reaching the casualties and were shot directly at them, noting that the hospital had received 10 wounded and 6 martyrs since the morning, and the casualties were distributed among the rest. City hospitals.
As the military operation continued in Jenin, the director of Jenin Governmental Hospital said, “We are facing difficulty in receiving martyrs in the mortuaries, which can accommodate only 9 deaths. We have received 6 martyrs in addition to a martyr in Al-Razi Hospital, and there are a number of previous deaths in the hospital.”
Bloody raid
Eyewitnesses said that the occupation forces opened fire on the citizens in the hospital courtyard and on the press crews near its main gate, as a result of which journalist Amr Manasra was injured by bullet fragments in the back. A number of his fellow journalists were able to transfer him to the emergency room, and his condition was described as stable.
Hazem Masarwa, an officer at the Ibn Sina Ambulance Center, told Tel Aviv Tribune Net, “The occupation forces shot him directly while he was trying to help an injured person in the Talat al-Ghabz area, and the car was hit in the outer door.”
He added that Red Crescent crews in its various branches dealt with 20 injuries with live bullets, pointing out that drones were still roaming the city’s airspace, and occupation bulldozers arrived at the entrance to the camp, meters away from Jenin Governmental Hospital, and began bulldozing the streets there.
The Israeli occupation forces have carried out 62 raids into the Jenin camp since October 7, while the last raid was nearly two months ago.
Occupation Army Radio reported that Israel decided to begin an expanded operation in the Jenin camp to eliminate Palestinian resistance fighters, while the camp residents said that the aim of the operation might be to demolish the house of the martyr Ahmed Abu Al-Hani, who was assassinated by the occupation forces last March.
