इसराइली सुरक्षाबलों और हथियारबंद फ़लस्तीनी लड़ाकों के बीच सोमवार को वेस्ट बैंक में स्थित जेनिन शरणार्थी कैंप में भारी गोलीबारी हुई है.
ऐसा लगता है कि इस इलाके में इसराइल एक बड़े मिलिट्री ऑपरेशन को अंजाम दे रहा है. इसकी शुरुआत आज सुबह ड्रोन हमलों के साथ हुई.
अब तक आठ फ़लस्तीनियों की मौत की पुष्टि हो चुकी है और 50 से अधिक लोग घायल बताए गए हैं.
इसराइल ने कहा है कि उसने ‘आतंकवादी संस्थाओं का भारी नुकसान’ किया है.
लेकिन फ़लस्तीन ने इसराइल पर युद्ध अपराधों का आरोप लगाया है.

इसराइली सेना के एक प्रवक्ता ने कहा है कि ऑपरेशन कब तक चलेगा इसकी कोई सीमा नहीं है.
प्रवक्ता ने कहा है कि ये कार्रवाई कुछ घंटों से लेकर दो दिनों तक चल सकती है.
Whoever has relations of any kind with the state of Israel is complicit in this savagery because Zionism is the Nazism of the 21st century #EU #UN #BDS #Jenin_Camp #Palestine #israeliterrorist

जेनिन फ़लस्तीनियों का एक नया गढ़ बन गया है. इसराइली सेना ने यहाँ पर कई बार कार्रवाई की है. कई बार फ़लस्तीनी लड़ाकों ने भी इसराइली सेना पर हमले किए हैं.
इसराइल ने जेनिन ब्रिगेड नामक संस्था के लड़ाकों के ख़िलाफ़ ही ऑपरेशन शुरू किया है. इस गुट पर फ़लस्तीनी प्रशासन का कोई नियंत्रण नहीं है.
इसराइली सेना ने कहा है कि उन्होंने एक अपार्टमेंट पर ड्रोन से हमला किया है जहाँ इसराइली सैनिकों को निशाना बनाने वाले फ़लस्तीनी रह रहे थे.

इसके बाद भी इस इलाके में कई ड्रोन हमले किए गए हैं.
जेनिन में इस वक़्त हज़ारों की संख्या में इसराइली सैनिक तैनात हैं और सेना के प्रवक्ता ने इसे आतंकवाद निरोधी ऑपरेशन करार दिया है.
प्रवक्ता ने कहा है कि इस ऑपरेशन का मकसद हथियार ज़ब्त करना और कैंप में फ़लस्तीनियों के गढ़ को ध्वस्त करना है.

आख़िरी सांस और अंतिम गोली तक लड़ेंगे
इसराइली सेना के साथ छिड़ी गोलीबारी के बीचे जेनिन ब्रिगेड ने भी बयान जारी किया है.
बयान में कहा गया है, “हम कब्ज़ा करने वाली इसराइली सेना के ख़िलाफ़ आख़िरी दम और आख़िरी गोली तक लड़ेंगे. हम सब इस मकसद में पूरी तरह से संगठित हैं.”
जेनिन कैंप में रहने वाले अहमद ज़की ने बीबीसी को बताया, “इसराइली सेना की कई गाड़ियों ने कैंप में कई दिशाओं से प्रवेश किया है.”

🇵🇸 #Palestine || The Ministry of Health: 8 Palestinians were killed and 50 others got injured, including 10 serious injuries, as a result of the ongoing Israeli aggression in Jenin. 3.7.23
It’s worth mentioning that a Palestinian got killed by the Israeli occupation forces after being shot in the head at the northern entrance of Al Berih city.
وزارة الصحة: حصيلة شهداء جنين ترتفع إلى 8، إضافة إلى شهيد في رام الله والبيرة، ما يرفع حصيلة شهداء اليوم إلى 9، إضافة إلى 50 جريحاً بينهم 10 بحالة الخطر.
फ़लस्तीनी एंबुलेंस ड्राइवर ख़ालिद अल-अहमद ने कहा, “रिफ़्यूजी कैंप में एक जंग छिड़ी हुई है.”
अल-अहमद ने समाचार एजेंसी रॉयटर्स को बताया, “कैंप पर हवाई हमले हुए हैं. एक बार में हम पांच से सात एंबुलेंस लेकर कैंप में जाते हैं. हर बार एंबुलेंस घायलों से भरी होती है.”
फ़लस्तीनी अथॉरिटी के राष्ट्रपति महमूद अब्बास ने इसराइली ऑपरेशन की आलोचना करते हुए कहा है कि ये निहत्थे लोगों के ख़िलाफ़ युद्ध अपराध का मामला है. और इस तरीके से क्षेत्र में सुरक्षा और स्थिरता आना मुश्किल है.

इस बीच हमास ने कहा है कि अगर इसराइल ने जेनिन में सारी हदें पार कीं तो वे हस्तक्षेप करने पर मजबूर हो जाएंगे.
गज़ा में हमास के प्रवक्ता ने ये बयान दिया है.
प्रवक्ता हाज़िम क़ासिम ने इसराइल मिलिट्री ऑपरेशन को फ़लस्तीनी लोगों के ख़िलाफ़ एक गंभीर जंग बताया है.
उन्होंने कहा कि एक संकरे और भीड़ भरे रिफ़्यूजी कैंप पर हवा और ज़मीन से हमला किया गया है.
क़ासिम ने अपने बयान में कहा, “हम ग़ज़ा पट्टी से घटनाक्रम पर नज़र रखे हुए हैं. अगर कब्ज़े वाली सेना ने सारी हदें तोड़ीं तो हम हस्तक्षेप के लिए तैयार हैं.”
उधर अमेरिका ने आज सुबह से चल रहे ऑपरेशन में इसराइल का साथ दिया है. अमेरिका ने कहा है कि इसराइल के पास ख़ुद को डिफ़ेंड का पूरा अधिकार है.
व्हाइट हाउस के प्रवक्ता ने कहा, “हमने ऑपरेशन की तस्वीरें देखी हैं और स्थिति पर नज़र रख रहे हैं. हम इसराइली सेना के हमास और अन्य संगठनों से ख़ुद को डिफ़ेंड करने की अधिकार का साथ देते हैं.”

The armed revolt: Why Israel cannot crush the Resistance in Palestine
Dr Ramzy Baroud RamzyBaroud
Numbers can be dehumanising. However, when placed in their proper context, they help to illuminate wider issues and answer urgent questions, such as why is Occupied Palestine at the threshold of a major revolt. And why Israel cannot crush Palestinian resistance no matter how hard, or violently, it tries.
That is when numbers become relevant. Since the start of this year, nearly 200 Palestinians have been killed in the Occupied West Bank and Gaza. Among them are 27 children.
If one is to imagine a heat map correlating the towns, villages and refugee camps of the Palestinian victims to the ongoing armed rebellion, one will immediately spot direct connections. Gaza, Jenin and Nablus, for example, paid the heaviest price for Israeli violence, making them the regions that resist most.
Unsurprisingly, Palestinian refugees have historically been at the forefront of the Palestinian liberation movement, turning refugee camps such as Jenin, Balata, Aqabat Jabr, Jabaliya, Nuseirat and others, into hot spots of popular and armed resistance. The harder Israel attempts to crush Palestinian resistance, the greater the Palestinian reaction is.
Take Jenin as an example. The rebellious refugee camp has never ceased its resistance to the Israeli occupation since the famous battle and subsequent Israeli massacre of April 2002. The resistance continued there in all of its forms, despite the fact that many of the fighters who defended the camp against the Israeli invasion of the Second Palestinian Uprising, or Intifada, were killed or imprisoned.
Now that a new generation has taken over, Israel is at it again. Military incursions of Jenin by Israel have become a routine, resulting in a mounting number of casualties, though at a price for Israel itself.
The most notable and violent of these incursions was on 26 January, when the Israeli army invaded the camp, killed ten Palestinians and wounded over twenty others.
More Palestinians continue to be killed as Israeli raids become more frequent. And the more recurrent the raids, the tougher the resistance, which has swelled beyond the confines of Jenin itself, to nearby illegal Jewish settlements, military checkpoints and so on. It is common knowledge that many of the Palestinians who Israel accuses of carrying out operations against its soldiers and settlers come from Jenin.
Israelis may want to think of their violence in Palestine as self-defence. But that is simply inaccurate. A military occupier, whether in Palestine – or anywhere else, for that matter – cannot, by strict legal definition, be in a state of self-defence. The latter concept only applies to sovereign nations that attempt to defend against threats at or within their internationally recognised borders.
Not only is Israel defined by the international community and law as an ‘Occupying Power’, but it is also legally obligated to “ensure that the civilian population is protected against all acts of violence,” as a statement by the Secretary-General of the United Nations stated on 20 June.
The statement was a reference to the killing of eight Palestinians in Jenin, a day earlier. The victims included two children, Sadil Ghassan Turkman, 14, and Ahmed Saqr, 15. Needless to say, Israel is not invested in the ‘protection’ of these and other Palestinian children. It is the entity that is doing the harm.
But since the UN and others within the international community are content with the issuing of statements – ‘reminding Israel’ of its responsibility, expressing ‘deep concerns’ about the situation or, in the case of Washington, even blaming Palestinians – what other options do Palestinians have, but to resist?
The rise of the Lions’ Den, the Jenin Brigades, the Nablus Brigades and many other such groups and brigades, made mostly of poor and poorly armed Palestinian refugees, is hardly a mystery. One fights when one is oppressed, humiliated and routinely violated. This role has governed human relations and conflicts since the very beginning.
But the rise of the Palestinians must be distressing for those who want to maintain the status quo. One is the Palestinian Authority.
The PA stands to lose much if the Palestinian revolt spreads beyond the boundaries of the northern West Bank. PA President Mahmoud Abbas, who enjoys little legitimacy, will have no political role to play. Without such a role, however artificial, foreign funds will quickly dry, and the party will be over.
For Israel, the stakes are also high.
The Israeli military under the leadership of Netanyahu’s enemy, Defence Minister, Yoav Gallant, wants to escalate the fight against Palestinians without repeating the full-scale cities invasion of 2002. But the internal intelligence agency, the Shin Bet, is becoming keener on a full-scale crackdown.
Far-right Minister of Finance, Bezalel Smotrich, wants to exploit the violence as a pretence to expand illegal settlements. Another far-right politician, National Security Minister, Itamar Ben- Gvir, is searching for a civil war, led by the most violent of Jewish settlers, the very core of his political constituency.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is struggling with his own political and legal woes, is trying to give everyone a little of what they want, but all at once. The paradoxes are a recipe for chaos.
This has resulted in Gallant’s reactivation of aerial assassinations of Palestinian activists, for the first time since the Second Intifada. The first such strikes took place in the Jalameh region near Jenin on 21 June.
Meanwhile, the Shin Bet is expanding its list of targets. More assassinations are surely to follow.
Concurrently, Smotrich is already planning a massive expansion of illegal settlements. And Ben- Gvir is dispatching hordes of settlers to carry out pogroms in peaceful Palestinian villages. The inferno of Huwwara on 26 February was repeated in Turmus’ayya on 21 June.
Though the US and its Western partners may continue to refrain from intervening in supposed ‘internal Israeli affairs’, they should carefully consider what is taking place in Palestine. This is not business as usual.
The next Intifada in Palestine will be armed, non-factional and popular, with consequences that are too difficult to gauge.
Though for Palestinians an uprising is a cry against injustice in all its forms, for the likes of Smotrich and Ben-Gvir, violence is a strategy towards settlement expansion, ethnic cleansing and civil war. Considering the pogroms of Huwwara and Turmus’ayya, the civil war has already begun.
