Israeli soldiers have invaded Jenin refugee camp today with 3-5 tanks and approximately 5 jeeps. They are reportedly firing indiscriminately within the camp.

A soldier ordered her to disconnect the call when he realized that she was reporting on the actions of the Israeli forces. Attempts to reach her via telephone since have been unsuccessful.
