We’re in the 32nd hour of this raid that started early Tuesday morning, Al Jazeera’s Hoda Abdel-Hamid reports from al-Bireh, occupied West Bank.

It started with the Israeli forces surrounding the Jenin refugee camp. There were several drone strikes, with one targeting a house where four people were killed in Jenin’s old city. There was another drone strike inside the refugee camp as well.

We spoke to people on the ground who told us of a huge presence of Israeli forces there.

They describe Israeli forces going home to home doing searches, leading to a lot of destruction of those residences. People are also describing the destruction done to infrastructure by armoured bulldozers that entered the refugee camp when this all started.
