Overnight and throughout yesterday, Israeli soldiers forced entire families and neighbourhoods in the Tulkarem of Israel-occupied West Bank to leave their homes at very short notice, Al Jazeera’s Nour Odeh reports from Jordan.

“That means they could only flee with whatever they could carry in their hands,” she said.

Odeh added that the infrastructure in that city has been “completely upended by more than 40 days of Israeli military assault”.

“The scenes of mass forced displacement are also repeating in the occupied West Bank. More than 44,000 Palestinians have been displaced there since the beginning of January; over half are from the Tulkarem area,” the journalist added.
