Following the ceasefire signed between Hamas and Israel on January 19, the Israeli army has begun attacking the West Bank. The Israeli Ministry of Defense announced that it would clear 'terrorist' elements in the Jenin Refugee Camp and its surroundings with an operation it named 'Iron Wall'.
As part of the operation, which has been ongoing for 2 weeks, many Palestinian civilians have been displaced from their homes in Jenin. An operation called 'Iron Wall' was launched by the Israeli army in areas where Palestinians were forced to leave. As part of the operation, infrastructure in Jenin was destroyed.
For decades, Israel has been besieging the region in the West Bank where Palestinians live with the 'Separation Wall'. It is believed that the attack in Jenin is intended to expand the Separation Wall.
The Palestinian Government and Hamas condemned Israel's attacks in their statements and opposed the expansion of the siege around the West Bank. The United Nations (UN) states that the Separation Wall is illegal.
