Israel's war crimes, genocide continue

West Bank "brutality is truly unprecedented": Mariam Barghouti on Israel's killing spree

(Democracy Now!) Sept. 9, 2024: Israel is continuing its military assault across the West Bank it illegally occupies, with soldiers storming the Palestinian city of Tulkarm after midnight Monday, just days after Israeli forces withdrew from Tulkarm and the squalid Jenin refugee camp, following a brutal Israeli incursion that lasted over one week.

Zionist Jewish Israeli troops have also raided other towns and villages across the territory it illegally occupies as part of the largest Israeli military operation in the West Bank in two decades, deploying hundreds of Jewish IDF soldiers backed by [U.S. paid for or supplied] armored vehicles, bulldozers, high-tech fighter jets, and drones.

Israel has murdered dozens of Palestinians since launching the operation on August 28. "The brutality is truly unprecedented," says Palestinian journalist Mariam Barghouti, who adds that in many of the targeted areas, Israel has "bulldozed the overwhelming majority of the civilian infrastructure."

Her recent piece for +972 Magazine is titled "Inside the brutal siege of Jenin."
