Israeli military actions in West Bank lead to largest Palestinian displacement since 1967
Israeli military operations in the northern West Bank have led to the largest displacement of Palestinians since the 1967 Mideast war. Over 40,100 people have fled their homes amid intensified actions in cities like Jenin, Tulkarem, and Nur Shams. Humanitarian officials report that conditions in refugee camps are deteriorating, with infrastructure damage and shortages of basic services. Many displaced families describe being forced to leave by Israeli security forces, despite the army's claims of voluntary evacuations. Reports indicate that Israeli soldiers have occupied civilian homes for military purposes, leading to significant property damage. The Israeli army maintains that it is conducting counterterrorism operations while denying responsibility for civilian harm.
