Jenin 21 years ago. Jenin today. In 2002, it was attack helicopters hovering above the West Bank city’s refugee camp over a week of brutal fighting. The new offensive has been led by drone strikes as Israeli soldiers entered the city, reducing the centre of the camp to rubble.
Scenes still stand out from that fighting two decades ago. Journalists standing in the olive groves outside the camp and watching a hovering helicopter fire into the streets. A woman sitting in the first floor room of a house whose front had been sliced off. A man in a wheelchair trying to cross a debris field of shattered buildings.
