Israeli forces number Palestinian women’s hands during Jenin invasion
Israeli forces marked dozens of Palestinian women with numbers on their hands during their ongoing invasion of the Jenin refugee camp in the occupied West Bank on Monday.
Troops allowed around 120 women to enter the camp to inspect their homes and retrieve belongings, under strict security measures.
The women, along with nearly 40,000 Palestinians, have been forcibly expelled by Israeli forces from Jenin and other camps in the northern West Bank following a military offensive that began in January 2025.
The invasion has left much of the camps in ruins, while large areas remain inaccessible, with troops permanently stationed there.
The 120 women were allowed into the camp for less than two hours, much of which was spent undergoing searches and waiting under heavy military surveillance, while following predetermined routes.
