Residents of Jenin face an uncertain future as military attacks intensify, forcing families to flee their homes.

Israel sent tanks into the occupied West Bank for the first time in more than 20 years on Sunday (February 23) as it ordered the military to prepare for an "extended stay" to fight Palestinian militant groups in the area's refugee camps.

JENIN, West Bank (AP) — Israeli tanks have moved into Jenin in the occupied West Bank, shortly after the defense minister said troops will remain “for the coming year” in parts of the Palestinian territory. Associated Press journalists saw a handful of tanks move Sunday into Jenin, long a bastion of armed struggle against Israel.
