Here is what you need to know about Jenin:WHY IS ISRAEL ATTACKING JENIN?
Since March 2022, Jenin and outlying areas in the north of the Israeli-occupied West Bank have drawn intensified raids ordered by Israel's nationalist-religious government after a spate of Palestinian street attacks.
The Jenin camp has long been a hotbed of militants with an array of light weapons and a growing arsenal of explosive devices.
This harsh heritage generates die-hard hostility to Israel and support for Palestinian militant groups.
Israel annexed East Jerusalem in a move not recognised internationally, and launched settlements in the West Bank and Gaza.
