The Jenin Horse

The Jenin Horse (Arabic: حصان جنين), also known by its Arabic name Al-Hissan (The Horse), was a sculpture built in 2003 in Jenin, Palestine, out of scrap metal from houses and vehicles destroyed by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) during the Second Intifada. Part of the horse came from the Palestine

Red Crescent Society (PRCS) ambulance which was attacked by the IDF, killing Khalil Suleiman in 2002. Considered a landmark of Jenin, the sculpture was dismantled by the IDF on October 29, 2023.
