The Israel Defense Forces insisted it was “not forcing the Palestinians to evacuate,” but said it had “allowed residents of the camp to evacuate … through an organized and secured point.”

Hundreds of Palestinians have been forcibly displaced by the Israeli army amid a massive operation in Jenin and its refugee camp.

Jenin, West Bank - The Israeli army maintains Friday, for the fourth consecutive day, the military operation “Iron Wall” against the city of Jenin, in the northern West Bank, in which 12 Palestinians have been killed and more than 40 have been wounded.

The Israeli military said on Tuesday it had launched an operation in the occupied West Bank's Jenin that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said aimed to "eradicate terrorism" in the area.

The city of Jenin, a Palestinian militant stronghold in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, has become a new front for Israel days after it reached a ceasefire deal with Hamas that suspended a 15-month-old war in Gaza.

Israel's major military operation in the occupied West Bank entered its third day Thursday, forcing hundreds of residents in the city of Jenin, around 120 kilometers north of Gaza, to flee their homes.
