‘We are all Jenin together’: West Bank city seeks normality after IDF’s deadly raids

Palestinians go back to work but struggle to see positive future after destruction of Israel's 10-day raid that killed 21 in city

In the occupied West Bank city of Jenin, residents are struggling to return to normality after the longest - and deadliest - Israeli military operation in the area for 20 years. On Sunday - the start of the working week - traffic choked the city centre for the first time in nearly two weeks after roads were repaired; street vendors sold peaches and the first of the season's pomegranates as the city slowly came back to life.

But in some places, sewage still flowed through streets dug up by military bulldozers. Many burnt-out buildings showed signs of fierce fighting, the upper floors now peppered with bullet holes and broken windows. Water and electricity infrastructure was severely damaged, and it is not clear when these services will be restored.
