Palestinians fear it is a veiled attempt to permanently displace Palestinians from their homes and exert greater control over areas administered by the Palestinian Authority, a semiautonomous body that has also battled the militants in recent months.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Many of the displaced are the descendants of refugees who were expelled or fled from their homes during the wars surrounding the creation of the state of Israel in 1948, a period known in Arabic as <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2008\/05\/18\/opinion\/18khoury.html\" title=\"\">the Nakba<\/a>. The renewed displacement, even if temporary, raises painful memories of the <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/interactive\/2024\/02\/01\/magazine\/israel-founding-palestinian-conflict.html\" title=\"\">central trauma in Palestinian history<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">While roughly 3,000 have returned home, most remain homeless after more than three weeks \u2014 a bigger displacement than during <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2002\/04\/21\/world\/mideast-turmoil-aftermath-rubble-refugee-camp-bitter-lessons-for-2-enemies.html\" title=\"\">a similar Israeli campaign in the West Bank<\/a> in 2002, according to two Palestinian and two Israeli experts on the history of the West Bank. That year, troops raided several cities at the height of a Palestinian uprising, known as the second intifada, which began with protests before leading to a surge in Palestinian attacks on civilians in Israel.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The current numbers also dwarf the displacement during intra-Palestinian clashes earlier this year, when up to 1,000 residents of Jenin left their homes, according to a residents\u2019 leadership council there. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">As in 2002, some of those displaced during this new campaign will have no home to return to. The Israeli military has demolished scores of buildings in the areas it has invaded, ripping up roads, water pipes and power lines to destroy what it says are booby traps set by militants. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The United Nations office for the coordination of humanitarian affairs said that water and sanitation systems had been destroyed in four dense urban neighborhoods, known as refugee camps because they house people displaced in 1948 and their descendants. It added that some water infrastructure had been contaminated with sewage.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cWe\u2019ve reached a point where the refugee camps are out of order,\u201d said Hakeem Abu Safiye, who oversees emergency services in Tulkarem camp. \u201cThey are uninhabitable. Even if the army pulls out, we are not sure what will be left to repair.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The full scale of the damage is unclear because the military is still operating in most of the areas it has invaded, but the United Nations has already recorded severe damage to more than 150 homes in Jenin. By early February, the Israeli military had acknowledged <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/02\/04\/world\/middleeast\/israel-west-bank-raid.html\" title=\"\">blowing up at least 23 buildings<\/a>, but it has declined to confirm the latest number of demolished structures.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThe soldiers are taking over one area after another, destroying homes, infrastructure and roads,\u201d said Ramy Abu Siriye, 53, a barber forced to flee his home in Tulkarem on Jan. 27, the first day of the Israeli operation there.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThe Israelis have two objectives \u2014 first, to push refugees from the northern West Bank toward the central areas, aiming to erase the refugee camps entirely,\u201d Mr. Abu Siriye said. \u201cThe second goal is to eliminate resistance and weaken the Palestinian Authority\u2019s ability to govern,\u201d Mr. Abu Siriye added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-5\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">A spokesman for the Israel Defense Forces, Lt. Col. Nadav Shoshani, said the military\u2019s goal was to root out militant groups, including Hamas, that launch terrorist attacks on Israeli civilians.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThe purpose of the operations is to prevent terror from places a few kilometers from Jewish communities and to prevent a repeat of Oct. 7,\u201d Colonel Shoshani said, referring to <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/interactive\/2023\/12\/22\/world\/europe\/beeri-massacre.html\" title=\"\">the Hamas-led attack on Israel in October 2023<\/a> that <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2023\/10\/15\/world\/middleeast\/israel-music-festival-massacre.html\" title=\"\">killed<\/a> up to 1,200 people and led to the abduction of some 250 <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/03\/26\/world\/middleeast\/hamas-hostage-sexual-assault.html\" title=\"\">hostages<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Colonel Shoshani acknowledged that in some cases people had been ordered to leave specific buildings close to what he said were militant hideouts. But more generally, Colonel Shoshani denied any wider policy of \u201cforced evacuation or displacement of Palestinians,\u201d he said. \u201cIf people want to move around, they are obviously allowed to,\u201d he added. Roughly 3,000 people have been able to return to al-Faraa camp, near Tubas.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-6\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But displaced Palestinians said that in both Jenin and Tulkarem they were instructed to leave by soldiers who used loudspeakers to make general evacuation orders.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-7\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cWe had to leave the camp \u2014 the army threatened to shoot at us,\u201d said Aws Khader, 29, a supermarket owner who fled Tulkarem on Jan. 27. \u201cThey used megaphones, ordering people to leave or be shot,\u201d Mr. Khader added.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Asked for comment on this and similar incidents, the military repeated in a statement that no evacuation orders had been issued, but that all those who wished to leave had been provided with safe passage. The statement said that troops operated in Mr. Khader\u2019s neighborhood because they had \u201cuncovered terror infrastructure and weapons that terrorists had hidden in a bookstore.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Palestinians dismiss the military\u2019s explanations, citing calls by key ministers in Israel\u2019s far-right government to encourage the flight of Palestinians from the West Bank, destroy the Palestinian Authority and annex the territory.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-8\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Israel captured the West Bank in 1967 from Jordan, expelling Palestinians from several villages close to Israel and prompting the flight of hundreds of thousands of others into Jordan. Since then, Israel has gradually entrenched its control, building hundreds of settlements, often on private Palestinian land, for hundreds of thousands of Israeli civilians, and building a two-tier legal structure that critics have described as <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2021\/04\/27\/world\/middleeast\/israel-apartheid-palestinians-hrw.html\" title=\"\">an apartheid system<\/a>.

Under the plan, Palestinians would be denied voting rights, at least initially, and those who did not accept Israeli control would be paid to emigrate, or killed if they resorted to violence.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The government has also placed growing <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/interactive\/2024\/10\/13\/world\/middleeast\/west-bank-roads.html\"
