The Israeli military offensive in the north of the occupied West Bank enters its 75th day in Jenin and 69th in Tulkarem amid the continuing destruction of Palestinian properties, Al Jazeera reports.

The UNRWA had said yesterday that the scale of displacement caused by the Israeli assault is “unprecedented since the 1967 war”.

Israeli forces sent more troops into Tulkarem over the weekend, and gunfire could be heard in the Nur Shams refugee camp, which has also been under siege for several weeks.

Elsewhere in the occupied West Bank, Israeli forces carried out raids on Sa’ir, northeast of Hebron, Kafr Nima, west of Ramallah, Kafr ad-Dik, west of Salfit and Beita, south of Nablus.

The daily raids, mass arrests and killings in the Palestinian territory have spiked since the Hamas-led October 7 attack and have resulted in at least 952 people, including 192 children, being killed.

117 Palestinians have been killed since the start of this year, whereas more than 8,115 have also been wounded, and at least 15,500 Palestinians have been arrested.
