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."

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.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited the Palestinian refugee camp of Tulkarm on Friday afternoon. While in Tulkarm, Netanyahu received a security briefing from Brig.-Gen. Yaki Dolf, Commander of the West Bank Division, Big.-Gen. Hisham Ibrahim, Head of the Civil Administration, and the Commander of the Ephraim Brigade.

The Israel Defense Force confirmed Sunday that it has deployed tanks to the West Bank as it expands counter-terrorism operations in Jenin.

Israel’s military sent tanks into the occupied West Bank for the first time in more than two decades as it expanded operations in the territory on Sunday in a move decried by Palestinian authorities as an escalation of aggression.
