Israeli assault displaces 75 percent of Palestinians from Tulkarem refugee camp in West Bank
The Israeli army has displaced almost 75% of Palestinian residents from the Tulkarem refugee camp in the northern West Bank.
On Jan. 21, the Israeli army launched an assault on Jenin city and its refugee camp, killing at least 26 Palestinians.
The offensive was later expanded to Tulkarem city, where at least three Palestinians were killed.
Palestinian official Faisal Salama said almost 75% of the camp’s 15,000 residents were forcibly displaced to the city of Tulkarem and neighboring towns.
He said the Israeli army also shut down a Red Crescent Society office in the camp, depriving Palestinians of any medical services.
