IN JENIN, DEFENSE BARRIERS AGAINST ISRAELI TANKS
The Palestinian population of the Jenin refugee camp, on the West Bank, has managed to build their own defense barriers capable of stopping or delaying the entry of armored vehicles of the Israeli armed forces. An example of passive defense that arouses admiration.
These barriers and the explosives that are placed on them cannot prevent the entry of the Jewish armored vehicles, such as the Merkava tank, but at least they serve to delay the invasion for a while, "very little, really," says Farid (name changed). ) in a telephone statement to ARABINFOCUS.
Hours after Israeli forces withdrew from the Jenin refugee camp, one of its main entrances had already been reinforced with obstacles and explosives in anticipation of another Israeli attack.
Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas vowed to rebuild the Jenin refugee camp during a rare and brief visit Wednesday, a week after a deadly Israeli raid destroyed much of the camp in the occupied West Bank.
Abbas, 87, hailed the Jenin camp as an “icon of struggle” during his first trip to the area in more than a decade, a period during which armed groups have gained popular support at the expense of his Palestinian Authority.
