On March 9, Israeli tanks stormed the town of Wadi Burqin, west of Jenin in the northern West Bank, firing randomly as part of an ongoing military operation in the city and its refugee camp.

On the 48th day of the ongoing invasion of Jenin camp, Merkava occupation tanks moved from the camp toward the Wadi Burqin area, opening machine gunfire indiscriminately toward a mountainous region and blocking traffic.

Shortly after, these tanks and armored vehicles returned to Jenin camp.

This marks the first time since Feb. 23, when Israeli tanks entered the Jenin camp in the first military escalation of its kind since 2002.
