Following a two-day assault, the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) withdrew from Jenin and its camp at dawn on Thursday. They left behind twelve dead—including four children, a teacher, and a doctor—as well as dozens of injured and detainees, and significant material damage to the city’s streets, infrastructure, and local citizens’ property.
And this morning, the thirty-year-old Mustafa Ibrahim Musa Jabareen from the Jenin camp died of wounds he sustained yesterday evening, Wednesday, in Jenin, bringing the total number of deaths to twelve, said Fawaz Hammad, the director of Al-Razi Hospital.
The victims are: the 15-year-old Waseem Ahed Jaradat; the 18-year-old Sami Amin Ahmed Al-Qaisi; the 16-year-old Mahmoud Fares Qarini; the 51-year-old Jenin Hospital surgeon Asid Jabareen; the 48-year-old teacher Allam Jaradat, the 15-year-old Mahmoud Amjad Hamadna , the 50-year-old Muammar Muhammad Deeb Abu Amira, the 22-year-old Amir Issam Muhammad Abu Amira, Osama Muhammad Naeem Hujair, Bassem Mahmoud Saleh Turkman, the 38-year-old Jihad Muhammad Talib, and the 30-year-old Mustafa Ibrahim Musa Jabareen.
The Ministry of Health reports that since October 7, 517 people have died in the West Bank, including occupied Jerusalem.
The crime committed by the occupation in Jenin and its camp reflects the grave violations of human rights and international humanitarian law committed by the occupation forces. The international community must strongly condemn this violent act, demand an investigation into these crimes, and hold those responsible accountable.
According to international humanitarian law, military occupation is required to uphold civilian rights, abstain from using excessive force or targeting civilians directly, protect civilian rights, and make sure that injured persons receive first aid and medical attention right away.
Notably, it is imperative that both local and international organizations act quickly to address these violations, try to provide the victims and their families with the necessary humanitarian aid, and work to bring justice to the area in order to stop these horrible incidents from happening.
