Israeli forces are carrying out a large-scale invasion of Anata and Shu'fat refugee camp, located northeast of occupied Jerusalem, according to IMEMC News. The operation has involved the enforcement of a strict curfew across both areas, the sealing of all entrances, and systematic raids on homes and businesses. Military forces have also abducted Palestinian residents during the incursion.
Accompanying the sweeping security operation, Israeli forces have destroyed water infrastructure serving the two communities. The invasion marks an intensification of military activity in the densely populated areas situated adjacent to occupied East Jerusalem, affecting thousands of Palestinian civilians in the refugee camp and surrounding neighborhoods.
