Israel has demolished large areas of the Jenin refugee camp, carving roads through its alleys as troops prepare for a long-term stay. Thousands of Palestinians have been displaced amid the ongoing military operation in the northern West Bank.
Israeli bulldozers have demolished wide swathes of the Jenin refugee camp, appearing to create new roadways through its once-dense alleys. Officials say it’s a preparation for a long-term presence, echoing tactics seen in Gaza.
At least 40,000 Palestinians have fled their homes in Jenin and nearby Tulkarm since Israel began the operation shortly after a ceasefire in Gaza. Jenin municipality spokesperson Basheer Matahen says the camp is now uninhabitable.
Reports say at least 12 bulldozers are tearing down houses and infrastructure. Israeli engineering teams are seen preparing a one-acre site with water tanks and generators.
Israel's Defence Minister, Israel Katz, said on Sunday that troops will remain in the area and residents won't return soon.
Analysts note that the scale of this operation is one of the largest since the Second Intifada. Former military official Michael Milshtein commented that there’s no precedent for such a large-scale displacement in recent years.
The operation targets Iranian-backed militant groups like Hamas and Islamic Jihad. However, Palestinians claim it aims to displace people permanently.
UNRWA officials expressed concern over the displacement. Meanwhile, Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar insisted the operation's focus is combatting terrorism.
Palestinian officials warn the situation mirrors Gaza, where thousands were displaced during military operations. President Mahmoud Abbas' spokesperson demanded the U.S. halt Israel's actions in the West Bank.
Israel has long faced pressure to annex the West Bank, but concerns over relations with Arab states have held back such plans. However, support from pro-Israel figures in the U.S. may embolden further steps in the coming weeks.
