A recent Israeli military operation in the West Bank has led to the displacement of roughly 40,000 Palestinians, marking the largest civilian relocation since the 1967 Arab-Israeli War. This operation has primarily taken place in Jenin, Tulkarem, and near Tubas, where residents have fled to makeshift shelters, raising fears of a permanent displacement. The Israeli military claims this is a necessary action against rising militancy, while many Palestinians perceive it as an effort to increase control over the Palestinian territories, especially given the historical context of their ongoing struggles linked to the Nakba and past conflicts.
The recent military operation has displaced around 40,000 Palestinians, marking the largest civilian displacement in the West Bank since the 1967 Arab-Israeli war.
Israeli military insists the operation targets militancy in specific cities, but Palestinians view it as an attempt to exert control and cause permanent displacement.
Many displaced individuals are descendants of those affected during the 1948 Nakba, raising significant historical trauma and memories of past displacements.
The scale of recent displacement exceeds that observed during the Israeli operations of 2002 and earlier intra-Palestinian conflicts this year.
