Despite clear video evidence and statements from aid groups, ADL’s Jonathan Greenblatt says Israeli forces blocking Palestinian ambulances is “complete fiction.”

Late Tuesday night, large crowds flooded the streets of the Jenin refugee camp as residents celebrated the withdrawal of the Israeli military and claimed victory in the fighting. The Palestinian death toll rose to 12 over the course of the two days, while the Israeli military announced the death of an Israeli soldier.

The Biden administration supports the Israeli invasion of Jenin wholeheartedly and is echoing the Netanyahu government’s claim that the city is a “nest of terrorists.” But many voices in the West, including the media, are skeptical.

What I saw in Jenin was the Nakba reborn. We were transported back to 1948, and 1967, and 2002, when the Jenin refugee camp was leveled. This has been the fate of the people of the camp over the past 24 hours.

Palestinian resistance groups in Gaza have not yet responded to the Israeli invasion of Jenin, but political analysts say if the assault on the city is prolonged then “confrontation is inevitable.”

As the occupation relentlessly tightens its grip on the Jenin refugee camp, the message is crystal clear – punish the stronghold of popular resistance. But they will not succeed and will only breed a new generation to carry the torch.

After failing to eliminate the Palestinian resistance in Jenin despite repeated invasions, the Israeli army has now launched its largest attack on the city in over 20 years, including over 150 armored vehicles and 1,000 ground troops.
