In a significant development in the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Israel has forcibly expelled the residents of three refugee camps in the West Bank—Jenin, Tulkarm, and Nur Shams—as part of a month-long military campaign aimed at countering perceived terrorism. Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz announced the camps are now “empty,” with military presence expected to continue for at least the next year. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) deployed unconventional military units in the area, marking the first tank deployment since 2002. The Palestinian Authority has condemned these actions, and the United Nations estimates that around 40,000 individuals have been displaced in the operation. The Israeli government has instructed humanitarian agencies to halt their activities, complicating the situation further. The humanitarian crisis continues to deepen as reports highlight severe drainage and water access issues, affecting tens of thousands.
