Israël breidt offensief op bezette Westelijke Jordaanoever uit

February 25, 2025 - Israel has escalated its military operation against militants in the West Bank, forcing tens of thousands of residents to flee their homes in the north of the Palestinian territory.

Israel’s Defence Minister Israel Katz said three refugee camps – in Jenin, Tulkarm and Nur Shams – were empty of residents and would be occupied by the Israeli military for the coming year.

The Israel Defence Forces (IDF) said it has deployed a tank division around the city of Jenin – the first time it has done so since 2002. The Palestinian Authority condemned the move.

The UN said earlier this month that Israel’s operation, which began on Jan 21 and was intensified in recent days, had led to the “forced displacement” of 40,000 people, according to the BBC.
