For over a week, the Jenin refugee camp in the West Bank has been engulfed in violence between Palestinian factions. The Palestinian Authority's security forces are clashing with militant groups aligned with Hamas, accusing them of undermining security in the camp. The camp, home to 25,000 people, has become a battleground, with masked snipers and explosions echoing through its streets.
The Palestinian Authority launched a major security operation to root out the militants, but the situation remains tense. The militants, including the Al Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigade and Palestinian Islamic Jihad, view the authority as collaborating with Israel. The authority's efforts have faced resistance, with civilians caught in the crossfire.
