Nablus

- The clock is ticking, pointing to nine in the morning, Saturday. This is the time. As for the place, it is in the city of Jenin in its camp and its adjacent villages. The perpetrator is a large force of the Israeli occupation army, which is armed with the latest weapons. Dizengoff in Tel Aviv.

Within less than 48 hours of the Martyr Raad’s operation, the first hours had a severe impact on his family. Immediately after the operation, the intelligence officer called the father of the martyr and demanded that he surrender himself and his other sons, but the grieving father refused, and the intrusion took place.

From several axes of Jenin city, more than 200 fighters stormed - as estimates indicate - Jenin camp, the Jabriyat neighborhood near it, the outskirts of Burqin village adjacent to the camp, and the village of Arana in the eastern region of the city.

And the Israeli occupation forces announced targeting the family of the martyr Raad in all those places, and these forces were preceded by special units, "undercover", who stormed the camp and took dozens of houses as monitoring and sniping points.


military operation

As soon as the occupation army penetrated the vicinity of the martyr’s house in the camp, and the soldiers started calling for his family to get out of it and surrender themselves, until the resistance fighters, who prepared well, rained bullets on him, injuring some of the soldiers, according to what was reported by the Israeli media, and the martyr Ahmed Al-Saadi (24 years) rose. - One of the camp's resistance fighters - and at least 15 civilians were wounded by live ammunition.

Among the resistance fighters and the occupation soldiers, hundreds of the city’s residents went out to the sound of mosque loudspeakers that shouted “Hay to the Jihad” and called for the camp’s rescue and relief. The citizens clashed with the occupation and impeded its military operation.

While the occupation said that it had arrested a Palestinian gunman after he was hit by several bullets, Palestinians confirmed the failure of the occupation forces to arrest any member of the family of the martyr Raad, and to withdraw it after taking measurements of the martyr’s house, in preparation for its demolition.

What happened this morning, Saturday, in the city of Jenin and its camp, falls under the description of a full-fledged “military operation” launched by the occupation army after it began mobilizing for it since Friday;

He closed the Al-Jalama checkpoint in the north and tightened his military grip in its vicinity. He set up mobile barriers and impeded the movement of citizens to and from the city.


Similar facts

And between today's scene in Jenin and another dating back to 20 years ago - specifically on April 3, 2002 - the picture is similar and falls in reality as its camp lived at the time through the Israeli "invasion" (Operation Defensive Wall according to the description of the occupation), which lasted 15 days and used the occupation in it Hundreds of its soldiers, military vehicles, cannons and warplanes, to root out the resistance and dry up its sources.

At that time, the occupation killed about 60 Palestinians, most of them civilians, and completely and partially destroyed more than 1,200 homes, while the resistance killed 50 Israeli soldiers and wounded dozens, and this resistance did not die or fade.

Rather, Jenin and its camp, which the occupation describes as a "wapse's nest", became more prominent, and it became one of the most important strongholds of the Palestinian resistance, and the operations of the martyrs Diaa Hamarsheh and Raad al-Hazem and before them the Jaradat family (residents carried out the operation of the settlement of Homesh north of Nablus and killed a settler 4 months ago) to confirm the truth of the matter And increase the flame resistance flame.

Alone, Jenin has lost 10 martyrs since the beginning of the year and dozens have been injured, thus registering the highest number of martyrs and wounded in the cities and the highest in the resistance operations and its "battalions" carrying out attacks against the military occupation points of checkpoints and towers, and it became a common factor by which all of Palestine is divided.


Link

This circumvention became more evident with the emergence of armed resistance fighters from all factions in the camps and cities of the West Bank and even in the Gaza Strip, and their declaration to stand by the city and its camp, which formed a link for this resistance by providing it with weapons and military expertise and the true meaning of steadfastness.

Perhaps the three martyrs of Nablus (Adham Mabrouka, Muhammad al-Dakhil and Ashraf al-Mabsalt), who were assassinated by the occupation in early February, is the best evidence of this communication.

All this confirms that Jenin, with its resistance, is a "registered mark", as Jamal Hwail, a professor of political science at the Arab American University in Jenin and the son of its camp and one of the leaders of the "camp battle", insists on naming it, stressing that the camp is "pride over pride" for Jenin, and it constitutes a case of struggle that does not Someone in the homeland differs with his unity and steadfastness for 20 years.

Jenin's secret

This unit is the “secret” of Jenin there, according to the Secretary of the Fatah movement, Atta Abu Rmeileh, and its camp constitutes a “node” for the occupation that was defeated on its land and did not succeed in its incursions, incursions and arrests to eradicate this resistance in the camp.

And he adds, "One resister - in reference to the martyr Raad Hazem - was able to take the battle to the heart of Tel Aviv and defeat the occupation in his own home."

In response to a question, will Jenin and its camp ignite a new intifada?

Abu Rumaila told Al Jazeera Net: "The intifada is already continuing, and as long as the crimes of the occupation continue, the resistance continues, and the Jenin camp is following the same path."

On the same question, the leader of the Islamic Jihad Movement - which is based in the Jenin camp as a den for its resistance - answered Khader Adnan, saying that the intifada is "currently going on", and that the rage marches took place yesterday in Gaza and today they came out in the West Bank and will continue everywhere.

He told Al Jazeera Net that Jenin and its camp constitute "a lever for the resistance in the West Bank and all of Palestine and its pulse."

He added that "the camp incites all Palestinians to perpetuate steadfastness and resistance, by giving priority to duty over what is possible, by holding hands to awl, and not giving in to helplessness and weakness."

Adnan asked, "We tried the occupation in the battle of the camp two decades ago, did we break it?"

The occupation increases the illusion that its brutality will bring the Palestinians to their knees.

Trouble City

Jenin and its camp have a "special stain", an incubator for struggle and resistance, and the graduation of heroes and symbols around it, a focus that attracts all resistance fighters and all factions, and examples of national unity have been recorded, according to Mansour's statements, the Palestinian specialist in Israeli affairs, to Al Jazeera Net.

He added that the special national relations and the spirit that prevailed among the resistance fighters in Jenin historically gave it this status and formed this struggle extension.

And all of this, according to Mansour, made the occupation classify Jenin as a "dangerous phenomenon" because every decision related to it had different calculations, and the word Jenin became important to the Israeli public opinion.

Therefore, Jenin has turned into a major media and political security dilemma, and its being a dilemma will mean that this model “generalizes and spreads, and its resistance, hitting and targeting threatens to expand as well and explode in other parties such as Gaza and others, and therefore it constitutes a real dilemma.”

This is why Jenin is the spark of the next intifada, and the occupation is the one who accelerates this by always targeting it.
