Jenin, West Bank, Occupied Territories, Israel, Ikonos satellite image. This Palestinian city, which has a large refugee camp towards the north, has a population of around 30,000.

Up to 70 Palestinians and 22 members of the IDF were killed in the fighting, with large portions of the city being demolished. Photographed on 3 February 2002.
