The Israeli army has launched a fierce assault on havens of armed resistance in the West Bank ever since October 7. Its recent campaign against Jenin refugee camp mirrors the Israeli strategy in Gaza — a war against the resistance and the people.

The resurgent resistance in Jenin shows that a narrow refugee camp with limited capabilities can slow an entire army and preserve its capacity to resist.

Twelve Palestinians, including at least four youths, were killed by Israeli forces in Jenin this week during a massive military operation on the Jenin refugee camp that lasted 48 hours. Over 120 Palestinians were also injured during the raid.
