Detailed Human Rights Watch (HRW) report documenting Israel’s forced displacement of Palestinians from the Jenin, Tulkarem, and Nur Shams refugee camps under “Operation Iron Wall,” the largest displacement of Palestinians in the West Bank in a single operation since 1967. The 113-page report draws on interviews with displaced Palestinians, open-source information, and satellite imagery, detailing the nature of Israel’s operation and camp raids. The report finds that Israel’s actions in “Operation Iron Wall” amount to war crimes and crimes against humanity, highlighting recommendations for individual criminal investigations of Israeli government officials. This report is valuable for research on ethnic cleansing and the de-facto annexation of the West Bank.
