Terrorist murderers “wrote a heroic epic with blood” in the 2002 Jenin battle – "the blood of the Martyrs sprouts flowers"

Headline: “The Jenin refugee camp – a story of resolve and a wound that does not scab”

 

 

 

 

Each year in April the blood of the Martyrs sprouts flowers. All the words are silenced, but not the memories of the refugee camp whose residents wrote a heroic epic in blood. All the fortresses collapse in April, while the Jenin refugee camp continues to stand proudly thanks to its men, women, children, and elderly…

 

The location: The Jenin refugee camp in the northern West Bank. The time: The beginning of April 2002 (refers to Jenin battle in which terrorists attacked Israeli soldiers during a counter-terror operation; see note below -Ed.). The heroes of the story are hundreds of resistance members and all the residents of the refugee camp who stand firm. Year after year, memories of the resolve continue to be a story that passes from generation to generation, and the young people remember it by heart even better than the adults. They tell the story of the blood that flowed in the alleys of the camp, which wrote an epic of resolve. Despite the siege, it achieved a great victory through unity on the battlefield between the Palestinian resistance factions, on a small territory no more than a square kilometer in size…

 

After Martyrdom-seeker Abd Al-Basset Odeh (i.e., suicide bomber, murdered 30 people) from Tulkarem in the northwest of the occupied West Bank carried out a self-sacrificing operation (i.e., suicide bombing) on March 27, 2002, in which 30 Israelis were killed at the Park Hotel in occupied Umm Khaled – which the occupation changed its name to ‘Netanya’ (the lands of Netanya were purchased in 1928 -Ed.) – then Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon gave a green light to launch a military operation to strike the Palestinian cities. He called it ‘Operation Defensive Shield,’ and the main goal of the operation was to eliminate the second Palestinian Intifada, which broke out in 2000 (i.e., PA terror campaign 2000-2005, more than 1,100 Israelis murdered)…

 

A UN report revealed that the Israeli occupation soldiers committed a despicable massacre when they executed approximately 58 Palestinians and wounded hundreds to different degrees (sic., the UN report refuted PA claims of a massacre, confirming the majority of Palestinian casualties were terrorists)…

Regarding the Israeli side, it admitted that 23 of its soldiers were killed, although the resistance members emphasize that the number is much larger and is estimated at 55.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

Jenin – refugee camp north of Nablus that was a major hotbed of terrorism in the PA terror campaign 2000-2005 (the second Intifada). To reduce the attacks, Israeli forces entered Jenin on April 3, 2002, to conduct searches as part of Operation Defensive Shield, which was carried out to destroy the terror infrastructure in the West Bank, and several days of intense fighting against Palestinian terrorists in booby-trapped houses ensued. While the PA claimed that the Israeli forces committed a “massacre” and killed hundreds of civilians, a UN report refuted these claims, confirming that 52 Palestinians were killed in the battle of which the majority were terrorists. 23 Israeli soldiers were also killed in the fighting.
