00:00 Covered in the flag of Islamic Jihad, the body of Ahmad Barakat is carried through the streets
00:05 of Jenin before burial. He was killed in a targeted strike by Israeli forces, who said
00:13 he was the local commander of Islamic Jihad's military operations in the northern West Bank city.
00:19 Jenin and its neighbouring refugee camp are the site of regular Israeli raids.
00:25 It's considered a centre of Palestinian resistance.
00:28 "The occupation believes that it can eliminate the resistance in Jenin with assassinations and
00:34 airstrikes, but it's been unable to do so after 34 invasions into the camp.
00:39 It thinks that by killing our heroes and leaders, it will cause confusion and create a vacuum."
00:44 "What exactly happened, I don't know. I saw the car in front of me explode,
00:52 a Citroen, a white car. It was right in front of me. I was really close. My car burst into flames.
00:59 I opened the door, got out and saw their faces. May God have mercy on all the martyrs."
01:05 In parallel with its invasion of Gaza, Israel has been intensifying its raids in the occupied West
01:15 Bank. The Palestinian Authority says more than 400 people have been killed by Israeli forces
01:21 or settlers since October 7th. Thousands more Palestinians have been arrested.
