Jenin attack

It is noteworthy that an Israeli attack on the Jenin camp in the West Bank at the beginning of this month lasted for two days, during which it destroyed the roads and alleys in the camp, forced thousands of people to flee their homes, and killed 12 Palestinians, and an Israeli soldier was killed during the attack.
