Israeli Tanks Enter the West Bank for the First Time Since 2002!
February 25, 2025Israeli forces have deployed their tanks in the occupied West Bank for the first time in more than 20 years as part of an intensified military offensive that has displaced 40,000 Palestinians from refugee camps in the north.
Israel said on Sunday its troops would stay in the West Bank refugee camps for the coming year, announcing expanded military operations, including tank deployments.
Just after the ceasefire began in the Gaza Strip about a month ago, the Israeli military launched a major raid against Palestinian fighters in the West Bank. The operation spans multiple refugee camps near the cities of Jenin, Tulkarem and Tubas.
“So far, 40,000 Palestinians have evacuated from the refugee camps of Jenin, Tulkarem, and Nur Shams, which are now empty of residents,” Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz said in a statement.
