Children ‘terrorised’ by Israeli forces’ Jenin raid

At least 12 Palestinians have been killed during Israeli raids in the occupied West Bank, including eight in and around Jenin where Israeli forces carried out drone strikes, Al Jazeera reports.

Buildings, roads and infrastructure have been bulldozed by the Israeli army, and houses damaged or destroyed.

“The cars were on top of the building here, we were only able to remove them after the Israeli forces left,” Naser Saad, a Jenin resident, said.

“During the raid, a bulldozer passed by and dragged all cars with it. The children are terrorised. It’s hard for them to process all of this. The sound of the bulldozer itself shakes the whole house. Imagine how the little ones feel.”
