Residents of the city's refugee camp say homes were destroyed in the Israeli military operation.
"We had to flee. Or my daughters and I would have been killed," Fatina al-Ghoul says, weeping as she looks back at a pile of rubble that was once her home.
Fatina's family is one of hundreds now returning to what's left of their homes, decimated by drone strikes and fighting between the Israel Defense Forces and armed Palestinians. Hundreds of Israeli troops backed by drone strikes entered Jenin refugee camp - where almost 24,000 people live in an area of less than half a square kilometre - on Monday morning, triggering intense gun battles with armed Palestinians inside.
Several local hospitals also told the BBC that they were struggling to cope with the fallout from the fighting. Residents complained that at the beginning of the operation the PA's security forces simply allowed the Israeli military vehicles to enter the city. One fighter from a Palestinian militant group said that Israeli forces had successful destroyed several of its facilities, including a storage unit containing explosives.
