JENIN refugee camp , Occupied West Bank – Israeli forces killed two Palestinians on Wednesday in a raid on a refugee camp in the occupied West Bank, Palestinian medical officials said, and the Israeli military said its troops had opened fire after coming under attack.

The incident took place before dawn in Jenin refugee camp, and no Israeli casualties were reported.

Israeli forces often carry out searches in the West Bank for suspected militants and weapons manufacturing facilities. .

“During an IDF (Israel Defence Forces) operation in the Jenin refugee camp, Palestinian gunmen opened fire at the forces and assailants hurled explosive devices at the forces,” the Israeli  military claimed  in a statement.

“In response to the immediate threat, forces shot towards the attackers.”

The Palestinian health ministry said the two Palestinians killed by the troops were aged 21 and 16, and that a third person was shot and wounded in the leg.

Camp residents made no mention of any Palestinian gunfire in their accounts of the raid in which they said rocks were thrown at the troops.

Mohammed Sadee, who lives in the camp, said he witnessed one of the Palestinians being shot.

“The military jeeps were driving in and this martyr was behind them on a motorbike. They shot him … and he fell to the ground,” he said.

      Not just Israeli way.
      Both Israeli and Palestinian security forces conduct regular operations in the camp.

      1. 2 wrongs don’t make it right.
        For a nation that continues to commemorate the holocaust , this is not the way to treat the weak

          The weak were mighty once. Supported by 20+ Arabs nations with military support from the Soviet Union. Bad decisions and policies. Let’s face it the Arabs lost.

            The Arabs did not lose, the Arabs sold out. As a matter of fact the second Lebanon war was the might of Israel against 3000 Lebanese militiamen. The Israelis were BEGGING for a ceasefire.

          There is nothing wrong in commemorating the extinction act of Jews (Holocaust) by the NS-regim.
          The commemoration is intended for the present generation.

          Unfortunately the present generation didn’t bother to ask themselves why the commemoration of the genocide of the Jews is repeated every year.
          The commemoration of a genocide didn’t learn anybody a lesson about expectations of repeated genocide act.

            and Palestinian genocide… Do not forget this one. It is right in front of you.

            Haven’t you noticed I do not respond to your bull crap?

            “I am not addressing you so mind your own business and stop putting your LONG NOSE into the affairs of others.”
            There is no need to forget non existing Palestinian genocide… Only disproportionate violence from the Israeli military force – Unacceptable behavior.

            Don’t forget: “Wash your sewer mouth with detergent before uttering my name.”

    Let see, Jenin is a Palestinian city under the administration of the Palestinian Authority.

    It is the UNRWA that coordinate and implemented the reconstruction of the camp, and an additional piece of land was developed adjacent to the camp, which reduced overcrowding.

    Both Israeli and Palestinian security forces conduct regular operations in the camp that often result in clashes and violence.
    It isn’t unusual that refugees are killed during these operations.
    Needless to say that the violence has also has a significant impact on the emotional and psycho social well-being of young children especially.

    Many residents previously relied upon work in Israel, which has been severely curtailed since the construction of the Barrier and the implementation of the permit regime.
    Unemployment and poverty has affected the youth especially, resulting in widespread dissatisfaction and frustration and contributing to higher school dropout rates among younger children.

    How come that the Palestinian Authority is not doing more for the well-being of the residents?

    It is not surprising that Jenin was one of several Palestinian cities where Hamas showed a dramatic growth in electoral support – 15 December 2005.

    1. “occupied West Bank”??? is it occupied by Orabians Judea and Samariaa like Half of Africa, almost all ME including Lebanon, and also Eurape? So called “Falsetinians” are coined in June 1964 in Soviet KGB usual Orabians, politically corrected
      “On Wednesday night, July 12, in the Jenin refugee camp, terrorists opened fire on Israeli soldiers, and then pelted soldiers with homemade grenades.
      IDF soldiers fired back, killing two and wounding one terrorist” What goes around comes around, Arzna

  3. “Judea and Samaria [West Bank] and the Gaza area are lands seized during warfare, and are not part of Israel.” – Israeli Supreme Court ruling reported in Ha’aretz 8th June 2005

    1. Ha’arets are Israeli leftists idiots and liberal fundamentalists most of all with related terminology. You are posting the same comment twice

      1. I posted it twice. You replied with idiocy twice and I’ll repeat again: Haaretz is a news outlet that reported the Israeli Supreme Court ruling.

        1. ???????????????????? ???????? ???????????????????????????????????????????? ????????????????????????

      From another viewpoint Judea, Samaria and Gaza were also lost during warfare and that warfare is yet to end. While Gaza has been run and ruled by Palestinians their status has now been labeled “unlivable”.

      1. No clue what war you’re referring to as there was none. Israel attacked surrounding countries and then lied it was attacked – all to steal more lands.

        Either way, the Israeli Supreme Court’s ruling is clear: West Bank and Gaza do not belong to Israel.

        You might also want to know that land acquisition by war is illegal since WW2.

          Thank you Forrest Gump.

  4. What enrages those who colonise and occupy, steal and oppress, vandalise and defile is the victims’ refusal to comply. And this is the tribute we all should pay the Palestinians. They refuse to comply. They go on. They wait – until they fight again. And they do so even when those governing them collaborate with their oppressors.
