Israeli military operations in the northern West Bank have led to the largest displacement of Palestinians since the 1967 war. Over 40,100 people have fled their homes, particularly from Jenin, Tulkarem, and Nur Shams, amid intensified military actions. Unlike previous operations, Israeli forces have pushed deeper into towns, causing families to scatter. Many displaced individuals report being ordered to leave their homes by soldiers, with some given as little as seven minutes to evacuate. Humanitarian officials note that the current situation is unprecedented, with infrastructure damage making camps uninhabitable. Local residents have opened their homes to displaced families, but officials emphasize that this support is temporary.
