Aftermath of Jenin: Cleanup and Displacement Post-Israeli Operation

Israeli forces concluded a significant security operation in the Palestinian city of Jenin, resulting in extensive damage and disruption. Thousands of residents were displaced, and infrastructure was heavily damaged. The operation aimed at thwarting militant activities led to the death of 21 people, including militant fighters and civilians, and the arrest of 30 suspects.

Israeli forces pulled out of the Palestinian city of Jenin on Friday, leaving extensive damage and disrupted infrastructure. The large-scale security operation involved hundreds of troops, police, and air support, leading to extensive destruction in the city and the adjacent refugee camp.

Thousands of residents were displaced during the nine-day operation as Israeli troops engaged in battles with Palestinian fighters, including factions such as Hamas and Islamic Jihad. Jenin resident Samaher Abu Nassa noted the widespread destruction caused by bulldozers.

Water and electricity services remain disrupted, and extensive road damage was reported. The military stated the operation aimed to neutralize threats from militant groups, resulting in 21 fatalities, including civilians. The Palestinian foreign ministry criticized the military's tactics, while the Israeli side justified the operation as a countermeasure against planned attacks.
