Israeli army forcibly expels Palestinians from Jenin and 'executes' residents

On the third day of Israel's major assault on Jenin, Palestinians in the occupied West Bank city are grappling with forced displacement, mass arrests and reports of field executions by Israeli forces.

The invasion has led to widespread fear and hardship, with local infrastructure severely damaged and medical access restricted.

According to the official Palestinian news agency Wafa, Israeli forces have imposed a complete siege on the Jenin refugee camp, deploying special units, drones and biometric and facial recognition systems to monitor and control the area.

Palestinians have been forcibly expelled from their homes as Israeli troops order them out via loudspeakers and air-dropped leaflets. 

Salah, a Jenin camp resident, spoke to Middle East Eye about the terrifying scene as drones circled above their homes while Israeli troops, using loudspeakers, demanded that people leave.
