On the afternoon of November 22, at approximately 2:30 PM, Israeli military forces launched an incursion into east Jenin
that resulted in the death of ten-year old Brahim Ahmed Ali Jalamni.
The Israeli incursion coincided with a pre-planned anti-Apartheid Wall demonstration in the Barta village region of the
Jenin district that took ISM Jenin volunteers several kilometers away from the scene of Brahim's death.
From eyewitness accounts: Israeli bulldozers, jeeps, and armored personnel carriers arrived in east Jenin, and the
bulldozers began destroying a forested region bordering the east side of Shakaria road. Upon arrival at this urban-rural
interface where Palestinian homes stand amongst groves of trees, Israeli forces engaged Palestinian resistance fighters
who were firing from a position to the west and above the Israeli forces.

2 nights ago the army came to Balata camp at around 2-2:30 AM. I awoke to the sound of sirens and thought I was in Asira
listening to a new low in the army's presence there, declaring curfew. As my mind cleared and I remembered I was in
Balata, I heard a loud explosion; everyone in the room heard it.
We wondered what it was, a house demolition? A tank shell? A bomb? Later after several hours wondering it turned out to
be of Israeli military origin, maybe a grenade thrown in the street. Soldiers proceeded to shoot around the camp, throw
sound grenades, switch on and off their sirens, shout over their loudspeakers, etc.
