Israeli Raids in Occupied West Bank Displace 40,000 Palestinians

HeadlineFeb 13, 2025

Israel is continuing to escalate its attacks on the occupied West Bank. The Israeli raids have displaced more than 40,000 Palestinians in Jenin, Tulkarm, Nur Shams and al-Faraa in recent weeks. In Tulkarm, Al Jazeera reports 85% of the population has been displaced. Earlier today, Israeli forces shot dead a Palestinian man at an Israeli checkpoint south of Nablus. Israel also launched a drone strike on Jenin.

Meanwhile, Palestinians have begun to clear rubble in the al-Faraa refugee camp after Israeli troops pulled out of the area.

Mohammad Tayyeh: “This refugee camp is targeted just like other refugee camps, and they want to plant the idea that you have to leave. It is obvious that they are trying to reduce the number of people in the camps or empty them. And they are trying — and everybody knows that — to end the case of refugees completely.”
