Thousands of Palestinians displaced from West Bank camps as Israel launches
Jenin, West Bank

Tens of thousands of Palestinians living in refugee camps in the West Bank have fled their homes after an Israeli offensive destroyed homes and vital infrastructure in built-up towns, Palestinian authorities said.

Israeli forces began their operation in the refugee camp in the northern West Bank city of Jenin on January 21, deploying hundreds of troops and bulldozers that demolished homes and roads, expelling almost all of the camp's residents, Reuters reports.

"We don't know what is happening in the camp, but there are constant demolitions and destroyed roads," said Mohammed al-Sabbagh, head of the Jenin camp services committee.

The operation, which Israel says aims to thwart Iranian-backed militant groups in the West Bank, has since expanded to other camps, notably the Tulkarm refugee camp and the nearby Nur Shams camp, both of which have also been destroyed.

The camps, built for the descendants of Palestinian refugees who fled or were expelled from their homes in the 1948 war over the creation of the state of Israel, have long been a major hub for armed militant groups.

They have been raided repeatedly by the Israeli military, but the current operation, which began after a ceasefire was reached in Gaza, has been on an unusually large scale.

According to data from the Palestinian Authority, around 17,000 people have now left the Jenin refugee camp, leaving the site almost completely deserted, while 6,000 people have left Nur Shams, or about two-thirds of the total, with another 10,000 having left the Tulkarm camp.
