Israeli military operations in West Bank lead to largest displacement of Palestinians in decades

Tens of thousands of Palestinians have fled their homes in the northern West Bank due to intensified Israeli military operations, marking the largest displacement since the 1967 war. The crackdown began on January 21, following a ceasefire with Hamas. Israeli forces have expanded their operations beyond Jenin to other towns, causing families to scatter. Humanitarian officials report over 40,100 people have been displaced, with conditions in refugee camps deteriorating significantly. The Israeli army denies issuing evacuation orders, stating that troops secure exits for those wishing to leave. Many displaced residents report being forced out by soldiers, with accounts of homes being ransacked and vandalized during the military operations.
