ALBAWABA - Following the Israeli operation in Jenin that killed 12 Palestinians and injured more than 100, the families of those who were killed held a mass funeral for those whom they have lost.

Videos have roamed the internet of Fatah and Palestinian National Authority leaders being kicked out of the funeral of those who lost their lives during the latest Israeli aggression on Jenin. 

In the videos, the families are heard chanting "Get out, get out" demanding that the leaders leave the funeral following their silent stance toward what was happening in the West Bank city of Jenin. 

According to local sources, young men headed towards the Palestinian Presidency offices, known as "Muqata'aa" in Jenin, throwing stones and Molotov cocktails, protesting against the "lack of involvement of the security services in the face of the Israeli forces forces", during the latest Israeli raid on the camp. 

Israel's 2-day operation

The Israeli operation resulted in widespread devastation throughout Jenin, including residential areas and health facilities. The attack also resulted in the displacement of around 3000 individuals from their houses, as they were threatened to evacuate or their homes would be leveled to the ground with them on the inside.  

The Israeli forces announced withdrawing their troops from Jenin, which was followed by the residents of the camp celebrating the ending of 2 long daunting days.
