The Palestinian Center for Human Rights (PCHR) called Tuesday morning, December 13, 2022, on the international community to take immediate action to stop the crimes of the Israeli occupation.
The center said in a statement, “A Palestinian girl was killed, and three citizens, including two brothers, were detained during the Israeli occupation forces’ raid, yesterday evening, of the eastern neighborhood of Jenin, which is controlled by the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank.”
According to PCHR’s investigations, at approximately 10:11 on Sunday, 11 December 2022, a special Israeli force (from the Yamam unit) raided the eastern neighborhood in Jenin and stationed in the vicinity of Al-Absi’s house and a supermarket owned by the Al-Absi family. Hatnawi before raiding it.
The moment the occupation special forces were immediately discovered by Palestinian citizens, which led to violent confrontations with Palestinian resistance fighters.
Subsequently, several Israeli military vehicles moved in to support the special units, and some of their military personnel climbed the roofs of a number of high buildings and turned them into positions for snipers, who were firing at Palestinians inside their homes.
After about an hour, the Israeli forces withdrew after detaining three citizens, including two brothers from the Hanthawi family who were inside the supermarket that had been raided.
About half an hour after the occupation forces withdrew, the 15-year-old girl, Jana Majdi Issam Assaf Zakarneh, was found dead and covered in blood on the roof of her family’s one-story house.

The center’s researcher reported that the child Jana was transferred to the Institute of Forensic Medicine at An-Najah National University in Nablus, and after the autopsy, it was found, according to what the medical staff told the researcher, that the shooting was carried out with an M16 weapon, from a distance of no less than 300 meters.
