Jenin Deputy Governor Mansour al-Saadi said Israel’s ongoing military campaign in the refugee camp could be a “repetition of what happened in the northern Gaza Strip, a systematic campaign of extermination”, Al Jazeera reports.

Speaking to the Anadolu news agency, al-Saadi said Israeli forces have blockaded the four entrances to the city of Jenin and the camp, preventing entry and exit.

He warned that the ongoing demolition of buildings and houses in the centre of the camp indicates that Israeli forces plan to carry out a large-scale invasion.
