Israeli military operations in the West Bank, including tank incursions and displacement of tens of thousands of Palestinians, continue to escalate, while Palestinian resistance groups push back against the attacks.
Hamas criticized Israeli PM's Benjamin Netanyahu’s tour of the Tulkarm camp as a 'desperate display of political and military failure.'
Israeli forces continue to burn and destroy homes in Tulkarm camps for the 24th day, forcing 90% of residents to leave.
Defense Minister Israel Katz noted that "Forty thousand Palestinians have so far been evacuated from the Jenin, Tulkarm, and Nur a-Shams refugee camps, which are now empty of residents."
Amid the most intensive Israeli operations in the area in decades, Palestinians fear entrenched displacement and a return to military control in some towns.
A weeks-long Israeli offensive has demolished houses and torn up vital infrastructure in the heavily built up townships, Palestinian authorities said.
Israeli military raids in areas dominated by Palestinian militants in the West Bank have increased, often leaving civilians with limited access to medical care and caught in the violence.
