Israeli Forces Mark Palestinian Women's Hands During Jenin Camp Invasion
During an ongoing military invasion of the Jenin refugee camp in the occupied West Bank, Israeli forces marked dozens of Palestinian women with numbers on their hands. This incident occurred on Monday as troops permitted approximately 120 women to briefly enter the camp to inspect their homes and retrieve personal belongings under strict security protocols. These women are among nearly 40,000 Palestinians forcibly expelled from Jenin and other northern West Bank camps since a major offensive began in January 2025. The allowed entry lasted less than two hours, with much of the time consumed by searches, waiting periods, and adherence to predetermined routes under heavy military surveillance. The broader invasion has left significant portions of the refugee camps in ruins, with large areas remaining inaccessible due to permanent troop stationing. This event highlights the severe restrictions and dehumanizing measures faced by displaced Palestinians attempting to access their former homes amidst continued military operations and destruction in the region.
