The largest wave of forcible transfers of Palestinian communities since October 7 has taken place in the northeast of the occupied West Bank, triggered by Israeli settler attacks, the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) has said according to Al Jazeera.

“These attacks, occurring in broad daylight under the watching eyes and the protective force of the Israeli military, highlight the unlawfulness of Israel’s presence in the West Bank, as recently ruled by the International Court of Justice,” said Allegra Pacheco, chief of party of the NRC-led West Bank Protection Consortium (WBPC).
