The Palestinian presidency has accused Israel of 'ethnic cleansing' in the West Bank amid escalating military operations. Over 29 killed, thousands displaced, and entire neighborhoods destroyed — here's what you need to know.
Nabil Abu Rudeineh, spokesperson for the Palestinian presidency, slammed Israel's 'Iron Wall' campaign in Jenin and Tulkarm, calling it a 'massive destruction of infrastructure' that has forced over 15,000 residents to flee. Local officials warn this is the 'most dangerous' assault in Jenin's history.
Israeli forces expanded operations into northern West Bank this week, claiming to target 'terrorist groups.' But Palestinian leaders urge the U.S. to intervene immediately, fearing a wider conflict explosion.
Meanwhile, Tulkarm Governor Abdullah Kamil revealed 48% of the Tulkarm camp's population has been displaced. The Palestinian Health Ministry reports 70 deaths in January alone — a chilling toll sparking global concern.
As tensions flare, thousands of families remain trapped in the crossfire. Stay tuned for updates.
