Jenin refugee camp becomes a scene of desolation

An Israeli army raid in the Jenin refugee camp, occupied West Bank, that went on for 60 hours left a scene of desolation, Al Jazeera’s Hoda-Abdel Hamid says.

“This is a desolate city, everything is shut down,” Abdel-Hamid said, reporting at the entrance of the refugee camp where Israeli soldiers were stationed.

Walls of shops at the site show drawings of the Star of David and other Israeli symbols, while sewage water fills the streets as the camp’s infrastructures were destroyed.

“Bulldozers were the first to go in and destroyed everything on their way to make people’s life here more difficult,” she said.

At least 12 people were killed and more than 500 arrested in the raid. Many of those detained were later released, Abdel-Hamid said, adding that some of those were badly beaten during questioning.
