40,000 Palestinians uprooted by Israel’s West Bank raids: UN

The UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) said that Israeli raids across the West Bank have triggered the “largest population displacement” since the 1967 war that led to the occupation of the Palestinian territory.   

In a report released on Sunday, the UNRWA estimated that the Israeli attacks over the past few weeks have displaced at least 40,000 people, the vast majority of them from refugee camps in the occupied West Bank, Press TV reported.

The large-scale assault is by far the single longest Israeli aggression in the West Bank since the second Palestinian Intifada in the early 2000s, “causing the largest population displacement since the 1967 war,” it added.    

The UN agency also warned that Israeli statements have suggested the regime’s military will continue the assault for the foreseeable future and prevent Palestinians from returning to the West Bank refugee camps.

“Coercive conditions, threats of demolition, and evacuation orders drove further displacement from these already near-empty camps,” it said.

“The Israeli Forces continued to deploy militarized tactics and advanced weaponry, including the use of tanks.”

Also on Sunday, Israeli forces shot and critically injured a Palestinian near the southern West Bank town of Tarqumiyah.
