Israeli forces have been searching for wanted individuals, weapons, and explosives in the Palestinian refugee camp in Jenin. The city is notorious for its defiance against Israeli rule. Israelis see it as a breeding ground for terrorism, with Jenin during the second Palestinian uprising being a main source of suicide bombers. Palestinians, on the other hand, view Jenin as a symbol of resistance and resilience against occupation. The camp gained notoriety in 2002 when it was the site of a 10-day battle, sealing its reputation. Israeli commandos have recently carried out a large military operation in the area, resulting in numerous fatalities. However, due to Jenin’s history, it is expected that Israeli forces will return in the future.
Jenin is seen as a place of resistance and solidarity by Palestinians due to its role in their collective memory. The camp was originally established in the late 1940s to house Palestinians who had fled or were forced from their homes during the establishment of Israel. It is now overcrowded, plagued by violence, and has high rates of unemployment and poverty. It has also become a stronghold of Hamas and Islamic Jihad in the West Bank. The area’s remoteness and neglect by the Palestinian Authority have allowed these groups to flourish. During the second Intifada, numerous suicide bombers originated from Jenin. The recent Israeli assault has reignited memories of the 2002 battle and has once again brought attention to the city’s history of rebellion.
