Israeli soldiers fire tear gas canisters from an armored vehicle during an ongoing military operation in the occupied West Bank city of Jenin on July 4. Jenin is a small city in the hilly, far north of the West Bank, near the border with Israel, and contains a teeming, concrete, and cinder-block refugee camp by the same name housing some 14,000 people. They are descendants of Palestinians dispossessed when Israel was created in 1948, and most are impoverished and unemployed. This harsh heritage generates die-hard hostility to Israel and support for Palestinian militant groups, reported Reuters. (Ronaldo Schemidt / AFP)
