Israeli raids intensify in the West Bank

Janin has long been a stronghold of armed resistance. The Palestinians being buried, killed in an Israeli drone strike, among them a leader of Islamic Jihad's Janin battalion. Israel's increasingly brutal tactics in the occupied West Bank, a sign of how much of a threat dissent here represents to the occupation. For the past two and a half years in Janin refugee camp, just the camp, not including surrounding areas, around 100 people have been killed. There is always a house in mourning in Janin refugee camp. Houses in mourning are never closed in Janin. Israeli troops injured more than a dozen people in overnight raids, blocking ambulances, detaining paramedics. Palestinian fighters hit back with improvised explosives. One of the medics interrogated by Israeli soldiers said they, too, were caught up in the clashes. Israeli soldiers checked each of our three ambulances. It took a lot of time. They searched thoroughly and violently and damaged equipment. They searched each car, kept us waiting. Then there was shooting and we took cover behind their jeeps. Despite the violence that has followed the October 7th Hamas attacks, Palestinians, their positions hardening, say it serves as a reminder of their enemy's weaknesses. Israeli forces have killed more than 200 people in the occupied West Bank since the events of October 7th, the idea being, keep up pressure on Palestinians here, prevent any retaliation for Gaza. But it could be a strategy that is backfiring, because frustration is growing. Incidents like this add to public anger. An Israeli soldier approaches a mosque near Ramallah just before Friday morning prayers, throwing a sound grenade inside, unclear to what end. Also on Friday, two Palestinians were shot at a checkpoint north of Hebron, killed during an attempted attack on Israeli soldiers, the second such attack on a checkpoint in as many days. They were using small handmade submachine guns, synonymous with past uprisings. Laying the dead to rest in the occupied territories, far from a quiet affair. They fire their guns, they march, they chant, saying, raise the martyrs up, let the whole world see, refusing to be ignored, refusing to go quietly.
