"I don’t dare go on the roof, in case I’m shot," one resident says, speaking anonymously.

Information inside the camp is scarce, he says, and the streets are empty, as residents stay inside.

"It’s mostly old people and children here," he tells me. "The young people left before the army arrived – it’s bad luck for those who can’t get out."

Jenin, the focus of news networks today, has been living through a news blackout.
