Jenin Residents Demonstrate Against Deadly Palestinian Authority Raids

HeadlineDec 16, 2024

In the occupied West Bank, Palestinian Authority police forces have continued raids in the Jenin refugee camp, killing a senior leader of the resistance group Jenin Brigades Saturday. The killing of Yazeed Jayasa’a came amid an escalating crackdown by Palestinian Authority forces across the West Bank targeting groups resisting Israel’s occupation. Gunshots and explosions were heard across Jenin. Many residents have taken to the streets in protest of the raids. UNRWA, the U.N. Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees, has suspended its services in Jenin due to the violence.

Israeli soldiers have also continued near-daily attacks in the West Bank, including in Hebron, where Israeli forces shot and killed a disabled 23-year-old man during a raid Friday. Muhammad Ahmad Masalma, who had learning difficulties, was shot as Israeli soldiers arrested his cousin inside a paint shop.
