Escalating Israeli Military Operations Lead to Mass Displacement in West Bank

Recent military operations in the West Bank have resulted in the expulsion of around 40,000 Palestinians from their homes, with Israeli forces conducting aggressive sweeps across several refugee camps, the most significant since 1967. Israeli Defense Minister has ordered the military to prepare for an extended presence in the region, stating that troops will remain in some areas, including the Jenin refugee camp, for the coming year. This escalation coincides with the end of a Gaza ceasefire deal, further intensifying the situation. Tanks have been deployed in the West Bank for the first time in decades, causing fears among local residents as violence and uncertainty have become the norm. Experts warn that the scale of displacement could indicate a demographic re-engineering of the region, raising alarms about the humanitarian impact of prolonged military operations.
