Nablus- "Food and mortar in the house and in the fridge, and in a back door that looks at the yards of our neighbors if you want to withdraw, and the house gives you brick by brick, the important thing is that you stay fine, in 700 shekels in the freezer, if you need Masari, may God protect you and take your hand."

These words were not just an ordinary message written by a family member in Jenin camp to the resisters or those who shelter in their home, from which they were displaced outside the camp under the showers of bullets and the Israeli occupation's threat to bomb their homes on them.

Rescue of injured people

The foregoing is a small part of the solidarity of the people of the camp in their plight and standing by each other despite the state of collective suffering that they lived through for two full days under the impact of the Israeli invasion of their camp and its destruction of its infrastructure of water, electricity and communication, and the effects of the great destruction left by the occupation in the homes of citizens, which began to unfold more after its withdrawal from the camp at midnight.

And about those terrible moments in the storming tells Shafie Saadi island net details of the 48 hours that he lived in his home with about 25 people from his family and relatives who gathered inside his home, and says that with the first moments of Israeli bombing of the camp before the military operation was seriously injured two young men in front of his home, so he hurried to pull them into his home and ambulance.

"The shrapnel from the rocket had completely penetrated the bodies of the wounded, yet we provided them with ambulance, and most importantly, we sheltered them until the medical staff came, rescued them and transferred them to the hospital, and I kept in touch with them after the army withdrew in the middle of the night until I was assured of their health condition, and they are in good health," al-Saadi said.

Esnad Program

Benefiting from his extensive experience, he says during the Israeli invasion of Jenin camp in 2002, Al-Saadi rushed to prepare a self-program to extend a helping hand to citizens, so he worked to turn his house into a kitchen to prepare meals for everyone who needed them on the street, and risked himself and sneaked through the rubble to reach a pharmacy to bring medicine for a diabetic patient whose condition faltered, except for the "large logistical supply" of water and coffee to citizens.

Saadi was not satisfied with what he presented, but turned his house to a shelter, and says that he and others rushed to enter the targeted houses in the club's lane and took out its people from it, and among them were elderly and disabled elders, under the impact of shelling, and transferred them to his home in a scene that reflected the size of the large "love" that the people of the camp grew up, and adds with his simple accent, "We are in the camp is not."

Al-Saadi and those with him worked as if they were in a war field and maintained the largest amount of cellular phone energy to save citizens, and says, describing the most dangerous scenes of occupation violence, that soldiers stormed a house next to them and wreaked havoc on it after confiscating all its contents, then planted explosives inside, and withdrew from it without informing anyone of their act, and they blew it up, causing a huge explosion and panic for adults and children.

In victory and sadness together

All these stories of suffering and resilience are now being shared by the camp's residents and others who lived through the raid or monitored it closely, as are journalists who received great attention from the camp's residents despite their ordeal.

Journalist Hafez Abu Sabra wrote on his Facebook page amid the celebration of the victory after the withdrawal of the occupation army, saying, "The last thing we ate in Jenin, the candy of the victory of the camp, this is after all the generosity we felt from the people inside the camp, we were far from our families, but we only felt that we were among our families."

Describing a sad scene of workers from the camp digging a new cemetery inside the camp, Abu Sabra wrote, "I approached one of them and asked him, 'What are you doing?' "The camp cemetery is full and unable to accommodate the bodies of 10 martyrs at once," he said.

Redemption of Souls

The most pompous images of the camp's concerted "redemption of souls" were described by Ali Qassem Saadi, one of the camp's activists, who was presented by the youths and resistance fighters in the camp and through which they reflected that they were "one body".

Saadi says to Al Jazeera Net, "In the early hours of storming the camp injured one of the resistance, Samih Abu al-Wafa, provided his friend to save him despite the realization that he is not immune from the bullets of the Israeli sniper who dropped by his friend, and then followed by their third friend to save them, martyred next to them. " "The three martyrs rose together, they made a covenant before, either to live together or die together," Saadi said.

He wondered how the father and mother abandon their children, and says that all the destruction and devastation caused by the occupation on public and private property is nothing but "revenge against this incubator, which has never and will not be strengthened, and tried in the 2002 invasion and did not succeed."

This was not denied by the resistance fighters themselves and spoke in front of the press cameras shortly after the Israeli withdrawal, and stressed the "great support of the people" and their embrace of them in the most difficult circumstances.

Overseas Supply

There are truer images that reflected Palestinian cohesion outside the borders of the camp and the city of Jenin as a whole, according to Saadi, and he says, "All the West Bank stood with the camp, yes all the people," and this was not only inside the camp, but also outside it, especially with the support and shelter of those who were displaced from it, "and people in villages and cities opened their doors and welcomed us in their homes and among their families."

As a result of the comprehensive strike declared by the West Bank over the two days of the Israeli aggression against the Jenin camp, support operations began in various areas of the West Bank, and blood donation activities and various relief campaigns were launched, which are still ongoing.

There were also many demonstrations condemning the crime of occupation in the camp, in the West Bank, the occupied interior and Jerusalem as well, and citizens clashed in more than one location with the occupation army and its settlers.
