The New York Times reported on Sunday that the mass displacement carried out by the Israeli occupation forces in the occupied West Bank is the largest since 1967, according to experts who spoke with the newspaper.

“What makes this moment unprecedented is not only the scale of displacement but also the accompanying discourse, which increasingly normalizes the idea of permanent forced displacement,” Maha Nassar, a Palestinian historian at the University of Arizona, told the newspaper.

“This represents a major escalation in a long-running conflict that threatens to fundamentally change the political and demographic landscape of the region,” she continued.

The Israeli occupation army has killed at least 55 Palestinians since the army began its operations in the occupied West Bank last month - which began with a large-scale attack on Jenin and the refugee camp that is still ongoing.

The operation soon expanded to include other cities and towns, including Tulkarm, Tubas, and Nablus.

In Jenin and Tulkarm alone, at least 26,000 Palestinians have been uprooted from their homes, as the occupation forces have destroyed homes and obliterated infrastructure. The homes that have not been destroyed are being evacuated, seized by the occupation forces, and turned into military sites.

“The Israelis have two goals,” a Tulkarm resident told the newspaper. “First, to push refugees from the northern West Bank toward central areas, with the goal of completely erasing the refugee camps. The second goal is to eliminate the resistance and weaken the Palestinian Authority’s ability to govern.”

The Israeli army launched a new raid in Nablus on Monday, after a violent raid in the Old City the day before - which left at least 14 people injured, including several children.

Video footage showed Israeli forces opening fire on schoolchildren in the Old City of Nablus on Sunday.

Israeli military reinforcements continued to arrive in Jenin and Tulkarm. In Jenin, the offensive continued for about a month.

The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) warned last week that the forced eviction of Palestinians in the occupied West Bank was “escalating at an alarming rate.”

"Jenin camp is now empty of residents, reminiscent of the Second Intifada. This scene will be repeated in other camps," UNRWA said in a statement, noting that 40,000 Palestinians have recently been displaced from the occupied West Bank. The UN agency added that "repeated and destructive operations have rendered refugee camps in the north uninhabitable, trapping residents in a state of repeated displacement."
