Hey amigos! Big news coming from the West Bank 🌍. The Palestinian presidency has accused Israel of \"ethnic cleansing\" after recent escalations in the region.
Nabil Abu Rudeineh, the spokesperson for the Palestinian presidency, reported that Israeli actions have led to the deaths of 29 citizens, with hundreds more wounded or arrested 😔. Entire residential blocks in Jenin and Tulkarm camps have been destroyed, displacing thousands and causing massive infrastructure damage.
\"The Israeli aggressive policies in the West Bank have led to the killing of 29 citizens, with hundreds wounded and arrested,\" Abu Rudeineh said. He called on the U.S. to step in and help stop the ongoing aggression to prevent the situation from exploding.
Since January 21, Israel has been conducting a large-scale operation called \"Iron Wall\" in Jenin and Tulkarm, aiming to dismantle what they refer to as \"terrorist groups\" and maintain control over the occupied territory.
The situation escalated on Sunday when the Israeli military announced the expansion of their campaign into the northern occupied West Bank 🚧.
Mohammed Jarrar, the mayor of Jenin, mentioned that about 15,000 residents have fled the Jenin camp due to the military operations. \"This is the most dangerous attack in the history of our city,\" he told Xinhua.
Similarly, Tulkarm Governor Abdullah Kamil stated that nearly half of the Tulkarm camp's residents have been displaced 😢.
The Palestinian Health Ministry based in Ramallah reported that 70 Palestinians have been killed by the Israeli army in the West Bank in January 2025.
These developments have heightened tensions in the region, and the international community is watching closely 👀. Let's hope for a peaceful resolution soon.
