In Jenin, at least 11 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli strikes and raids in just over a week, officials say. The heightened pace of violence has frightened residents.

The stairway to the upper floor, now lacking a wall to support it, is leaning strangely. Pillars holding up the ceiling are bowing.
Most of Israel's fighting has focused on the Gaza Strip, where Hamas is based. Israel's military has killed more than 8,000 and injured more than 20,000 Palestinians in Gaza in the last three weeks, health officials in Gaza say. No one in the family was injured, but there is enough damage that they are currently staying with family elsewhere in Jenin.
Local residents say the mosque had a basement and a tunnel that served as an emergency exit to an alleyway nearby. The problems in Jenin are difficult to solve, Zakarneh says. He has a good job, a nice house and a family to care for — but not everyone in the refugee camp has a life like that. Many of Jenin's residents are young, impoverished and unemployed.Boys look at a ripped T-shirt and blood on the ground at the site of an Israeli drone strike that killed two teenagers and one 20-year-old in Jenin refugee camp.
