Israeli military operations in the occupied West Bank have displaced tens of thousands of Palestinians this year, according to B’Tselem, an independent Israeli human rights organization. Over 40,000 residents from refugee camps including Tulkarm, Nur Shams, and Jenin have been forced from their homes amid ongoing raids and demolition orders. The displaced Palestinians have organized protests in Tulkarm city center against the Israeli demolition campaign targeting their homes. During these operations, Israeli soldiers set fire to a residential home in the Jenin refugee camp and converted some homes into military outposts, as reported by local sources. The situation has led to entire West Bank communities being described as turning into 'ghost camps' due to the widespread displacement.
