Shopkeeper Salih Farah is getting ready for the day, sweeping up the spent bullet cases littering the entrance to the slum-like refugee camp on the city's western edge.
The night before, a fighter belonging to the Palestinian militant group Islamic Jihad was arrested during an Israel Defence Forces (IDF) raid on the camp; one person was killed during the operation. Close by, on the spot where Palestinian-American journalist Shireen Abu Aqleh was killed in May, beneath the murals painted in her memory, there are still pools of dried blood.
"It's the same every single night now. You can't go outside at night without getting shot, but it's not going to stop us living our lives," Farah said. “Jenin is the centre of Palestinian resistance ever since the second intifada [Palestinian uprising]. The Israelis have never forgotten that ...
They are trying to punish us." The veteran Al Jazeera journalist Abu Aqleh was covering the violence when she also lost her life, most likely as the result of being shot by an Israeli sniper. Abu Aqleh is one of 25 people who have been killed in the Jenin area since the beginning of the year: the near-nightly IDF raids on the camp have become one of the biggest Israeli military operations outside wartime for two decades.

Celeriac soup with almond pangrattato
I'm not ashamed to say that as soon as September hits, my stick blender comes out. Just as I embrace salads when the clocks go forward in the UK, I wholeheartedly throw myself into soup season once the summer holidays end. Autumn is approaching in the northern hemisphere and I'm ready with my ladle. Celeriac is one of my favourite soup heroes, because it gives the creamiest, silkiest finish with little effort. You don't have to make the almond pangrattato, but it is a wonderful addition.
