now it's into boss and many other areas in the northern part of the west bank of the palestinian territory. there was no stranger to these is really military incursions since israel's war on gods that began. the army had stepped up . these raids on a nightly and daily basis, they've killed over a 1000 palestinians. the rest of tens of thousands of others destroyed a lot of infrastructure. but this is the most significant of those raids when it comes. when the ceasefire and gaza was announced, the military chief of staff said that his role is gearing up for large military offensive inside of the occupied westbank. that it was one of their overarching goals for the war on gaza. israel had claimed to be on board on 7 different friends, and that the occupied westbank was one of those friends to them, which is why they say they are conducting this military offensive. but the people really feeling the bronze of this, or the civilian population. you have women who been shot and killed one of them. 8 months pregnant. you have elderly people who are trying to flee their homes, not even sure if they

as israel has displaced nearly 35000 palestinians across just the northern part of the west bank in continue is really military sieges and operations. but the arab league put out a statement weeks ago, right when president trump had initially floated, this idea that the united states was going to own garza and was going to expel the palestinians from there. and he kept talking about them wanting to leave. but jordan's king had a firm to his position that he wants the best for jordan, and he wants the best for the palestinian people. president trump talked about a sliver of land from the king them and a sliver of land from egypt. but both countries have been staunch opponents of this plan. the president trump has laid out where there hasn't really been a lot of information or details with he's given beyond the fact that the united states is going to own land. that is supposed to be sovereign territory. to the palestinians, and the king said that he reiterated that and in jordan, that is the wide spread popular belief that this land is palestinian and should remain that way. all right, i'm gon

and now it's been around 5 different areas in the northern part of the occupied west bank that's under siege and palestinians have nowhere to go. because of the increased military checkpoints that are all across the occupied west bank. and even more of them have been put in place since this military operation began. and what are you hearing from these ready forces the best i can public say about that what they're trying to achieve and the occupied westbank of the well appointed comments that were made by these really army chief of staff on january 16th a day after the ceasefire. in gaza, had it taken place rather it was signed, he said that the focus is not going to be on gods anymore. the military manpower needs to be diverted to the west bank, where israel is now gearing up for large scale military rates. however, during the entire war, they said that they were doing just that as well. however, when the ceasefire took place, they said it needed to increase, they have been constantly sending and reinforcements. and it's not just these rarely armies. so solution that the internal secur

up speeds of what's happening in janine i'm to cut them for the 16 of the is really siege on jeanine and it's refugee camp. and in the entirety of the northern part of the occupied west bank, 26000 palestinians have been forcibly displaced, forced to leave their homes as part of these ongoing military operations. the army has designated homes in both needs to cut in. and now that is the army says that some of these homes, especially in the gd refugee camps, were used for military infrastructure use as military command centers to manufacture weapons, but didn't provide any sort of evidence to prove those claims. and the armies essentially mirroring this policy that it has been doing and gone. so over the last 16 months during the war on the palestinian territory. but since there was a ceasefire that had taken place in gaza, israel said that they were going to conduct these large scale military operations across the west bank saying that it was also one of the goals of the war to combat or impulse. and you'd fighters in the territory, but palestinians say that the civilians are the ones feeling the want of these is rarely army incursions because this isn't just an ordinary

of the occupied west bank. it's now and around 5 different areas in the northern part of the palestinian territory and then you have the palestinian fighters who say that it is within their right to resist their occupier. the military, it has said since the ceasefire and gaza has taken place and these are words from the military chief of staff. they said that they were gearing up for large scale military raised in the west bank for larger offensive since now. there were more resources militarily to allocate to the occupied west bank. and you also have the country's defense minister who has gone into the palestinian territory on multiple occasions with is really forces saying that they're not going to allow the west bank to turn into another gaza, however, you have policies that are being mirrored when we saw and gaza happening over the last 16 months is exactly what we're seeing happen in the occupied west bank. but the reality on the ground shows a story of policy needs were being displaced, palestinians who are being killed. civilian is the structure that is being destroyed. but nonetheless, the military say

a whole military source of speaking to his really media have said that at least 20 homes were destroyed in simultaneous airstrikes in the northern part of the occupied west bank. we're talking about the siege on jeanine that has been ongoing for nearly 2 weeks now. and it's worth mentioning that these rarely military said they would use whatever tools were in their arsenal, in order to fight armed palestinian fighters in this part of the west bank. and we'll also remind our viewers that once the ceasefire took place in gaza. is when this rate started and the army chief of staff just a day before the siege began, had said that israel is gearing up for large scale operations across the occupied was bank because now that they are not so occupied, wisconsin because those air strikes have stopped for now, they are going to direct all of that power toward the occupied westbank. and janine is a place that has largely been the subject of these near nightly and daily raids that have been going on across the west bank. and they've really seen an uptick since the beginning of israel's war on gaza in october of 2023. previously we did report on these rays and they happen

been 16 days since it's really forces launched this big military operation in the northern part of the occupied west bank and the janine refugee camp to be more specific. but they've since announced that they've expanded it to areas like to cut in. and it's around the neighborhoods, the is really, army says they are looking to this is, but this is essentially a counterterrorism operation for them. they want to combat arms palestinian fighters. but if you look at what's going on, you 26000 palestinians who've been forcibly displaced, forced to leave their homes. you, these really are me leveling residential walks mirroring essentially what they've been doing and gaza detonating homes and also killing multiple multiple palestinians. these areas where there's a heavy is really military presence. no one's able to go in or out. people's homes have been destroyed. and when you're talking about a home that has been blown up, essentially by these really military, you're not just talking about one home. these are a refugee camp, so these are vertical buildings that have multiple apartments inside of them. so not

because this is an area that's been bolstered with a lot of security presence by these really military in the northern part of the occupied west bank since they've been carrying out this offensive in did you need refugee camp for the last 2 weeks? so there's been a lot of military presence, but it's not just in jeanine, it's in its surrounding areas, especially at the ac check point where this attack had taken place. all right, tom, the thank you very much for that for now. that's come to some. joining us live from a mon. still a head on al jazeera and 23 rebels. declare a uni natural says find democratic republic of congo. hundreds of people have been killed in slicing with the companies on the boss, how the trump administration over 4 of us for an a put impact. marshall commanded here in projects and found a dish. the the after a brief flow, the seasonal thunderstorms are proving themselves to be heavy. you're getting the lazy and it's an easy, virtually anywhere. so the focus which is where the biggest risk for time slides is the eastern end of into an easier west. papua, for example, i left in to the southern tennessee winter,

of the increased raids and attacks, tell us what you're hearing about the situation. the right at least 35000 palestinians forcibly displaced scenarios in the northern part of the occupied west bank as this is really military siege is expanding. what began and you need nearly 3 weeks ago expanded to, to, to got in minutes refugee camps to boss and other surrounding areas. but it's worth mentioning that these are densely populated refugee camps filled with palestinians . and they're not exactly a place where there is a lot of other options to go to after they've been forcibly kicked out. summer people are staying with families. some are staying with friends. some are staying at community centers like schools, but people are not going to work. they're not going to school students are not going to university and it's incredibly hard to get anywhere across the occupied territory because there are been a lot of additional is really check points that have been put in place since the big raid on jeanine had begun the military claims that it's only targeting our palestinian fighters, but civilians are one or the ones who are reeling from this raid across these areas in the northern part

because this is an area where there's been a bolstered security presence in the northern part of the occupied west bank. as these rarely army intensifies its activity there and how the, the you and talk to you about a catastrophe in janine come for water is running special, saying about why they've, they've created such wide spread destruction of civilian infrastructure the as well. the is really military doesn't acknowledge that this a civilian infrastructure. in fact, when they designated 23 homes causing a large explosion in the gene refugee camp, they said that these were all homes used by fighters and said that even were a military command center, but refused to provide any sort of evidence or proof of that. and lived there a lot of parallels here to what the army is doing now, and the occupied was bank and what they had been doing. and also over the last 15 months, the military says that actually they're there for what they're calling counter terrorism operations in an effort to combat arms palestinian fighters. however, the people who are really feeling this are the people of the janine refugee

on our palestinian fighters and get rid of the weapons that are in did you need refugee camp in the surrounding areas in the northern parts of the occupied west bank. but this time it's a little bit different because this is not just a regular rate. this is a large scale military siege that's done in coordination with dition bet. that's israel's internal security agency who's constantly sending in reinforcements. we'll talk about some of the numbers for a 2nd more than 30000 palestinians who would forcibly displaced as part of this rate. at least $45.00 people who been killed, including an a pregnant woman who was pregnant in her 8th month. she was shot and killed her husband was critically wounded and her father also seriously hurt after they were shot by his really forces. but notice that you have hundreds of homes that have been destroyed. critical infrastructure rows that have completely been decimated as part of this ongoing is really military re, they say they want to protect civilians, they say they want to do all they can to keep them out of harm's way, which is why they've asked them to evacuate. so that they're not in the midst of the fi

has said that they want to come back armed palestinian fighters in specifically the northern part of the occupied west bank and places like jeanine and tweaked out in these places are no strangers . so these is really military raids that had only increased since israel's war on gaza began occurring at a nightly and daily basis. but this is the largest we have seen since the war began . and actually since august of 2024, during the near 2 weeks siege on jeanine, we have 26000 palestinians who would forcibly displace from their homes. we have dozens of palestinians who have been killed at least, $45.00, including an 8 month old, pregnant woman, who was shot and killed by his really forces in the notice champ, refugee camp, along with her husband, who's now fighting for his life in the hospital. but you also have hundreds of homes that have been destroyed. let's not forget the unprecedented scenes of these really military debt needing dozens of homes at once inside of g need. but these are the single family owned. these are long vertical buildings, but house multiple families and is densely packed refugee cam

this latest incident, as you say, unofficial of those women was pregnant in the latest israeli military parts of the west bank, but particularly the northern let's talk now about this return for many people to northern gaza. now, the phrase that gets bandied around is people are returning home. aren't there any more. i know you've not been able to get into gaza itself, but what scenes have we seen? history it's left about 60% of buildings, particularly so people had no choice but to leave to refugee camps in the south. this is an area towards the centre of gaza that, so people have been taking advantage of this and slowly they can, and they're actually heading back down south. today said they were determined despite the huge levels of destruction in the north. let's remind you of of the lines we mentioned earlier on. donald trump on donald trump speaking on board air force one as was on air force one as he was on his way orleans for the bowl later m bowl later quasi bowl lath on t’sciag; cans" ”" "” those coming quasi stl latsi an t’ssiag; cans" ”" "” those coming out of comments was on gaza — and his comments was on gaza — and mr trump he

military stages and you need refugee camp again 16 days ago and expanded to other parts of the northern occupied west bank including to cut in. but there was unprecedented images we saw were actually of these really military detonating explosives and destroying an entire residential block in the g need refugee camp, destroying several homes into cutting and this morning, carrying out that same policy at a home in nablus. these really armies says that they are doing this because these homes are being used by fighters and that they are being used to manufacture weapons. and as military command centers, of course, failed to provide any proof of those claims mirroring. but the same policy we saw because of those same claims without any of the information to back them up all those months later. however, officially janine said that a $180.00 homes have been damaged or destroyed by this ongoing military rate. and if you're wondering why it's because this is a densely packed refugee camp for palestinians. these are not single family homes. these are apartment complex types of buildings. they are vertical and ther

we've seen what's happened in the west bank even at this moment, there israeli operations in parts of the northernwest bank. and obviously we saw october 7th in gaza and what has followed. we are on a path right now in gaza to just rinse and repeat to the same old scenario, which is to say, left to everyone's own devices, left on the trajectory that that things are now on. hamas is as israel has during this cease fire, has been pulling back. hamas is going to try and reassert control. the international community is going to help rebuild gaza with hamas there. so tell me exactly how that looks any different from what israel and the palestinian people got between 2000 and 5 when israel withdrew, and october 7th of 2023. we're on a similar trajectory. there are two options. let that happen or have israel reoccupy gaza. now, nobody wants israel to reoccupy gaza, including the majority of israelis. so i think what president trump is doing is throwing out other ideas. do i think every detail of what he laid out last night is going to be what we actually see, who knows what he is saying is, guys, we he s

area of the northern west bank has been really going through this up on slot of a, not just military a force, but also dispossession. right? so the on scott has been mostly on the northern part of the occupied westbank, noisy say, what, what is east rails and its game there in the occupied west bank and you've covered the conflict and guys, of course you've covered the occupied westbank for a long time do you think there's a real risk today of seeing a repeat of what's happened in gaza in the occupied westbank? it's a thank you for the question because it's very important to remember that this government, a government that is the most right. when in israel's history, it has in its platform since its formation long before october 7th, the idea of an ex ation or the goal of amex thing the occupied west. but this was a central policy goal upon which this government was for them. so this was always the prize idea logically, politically, strategically. this government wants to take over the occupied westbank. and in order to do that, the ideology or the thinking is that it must completely shutter the idea that tell us then you have freedom as possible. this is something that is r

the occupied west bank. so the feeling from this rate isn't just spelt in the northern part of the palestinian territory but all throughout it . in fact, there was a woman near hebron who died waiting at one of these new check points. when doctors had said that had she made it to the hospital just a little bit earlier. she would have lived but she had died in that ambulance. these really are me said that they had been gearing up for this, that for some time that they were allocating resources to the west bank. when the talks of a ceasefire had started to resume again. and when that cease, fire was put in place. they said this is from the army chief of staff the day before this read began, that israel is gearing up more large scale military operations. and we're not just talking about the typical rates we see when we talk about large scale. we mean it lasts for weeks, the number of casualties and injured goes up significantly. there are thousands of displaced palestinians across janine and its surrounding areas. and also hospitals are not able to get the vital necessary life saving equipment that they need b

the northern west bank. it's, i'm president essential thinking you're saying that's, i mean in some parts of some areas, it's down to civilians to, to, for the pills. i mean, every time is around kind of is that an operation operations like this, who pays sort of repairing who pays for reconstruction as well? when you look at the sedation, janine what we seen particular last couple of days. this is really an unprecedented picture on sunday. more than a 100 houses in the camp where he's a detonated or damaged extent that are not habitable anymore. we also see a lot of destruction. public infrastructure, electricity lines more to which us and it can 35 percent of the city of gene has no access to order to move because of water never gets destroyed. so. so yes, as wondering why is the united nation is we have some, some means to support a military responders, but the bill for the launch can infrastructure destruction. one has to, has to be assessed. it's going to be huge and it will likely fall on the international community. and so for the, for a center for it is to support this rather than what we have here,

the occupied west bank. so no respite, nor for palestinians any occupied westbank, tell us about what's been happening and why these really on the has focused on, on the northern part of the territory. so much fully the northern part of the occupied westbank is seen as the at and at the center really tell us in the end of resistance over the past few years, we've seen new small arm groups emerge of young fighters who confront is really occupation forces when they raid their communities, which happens almost on a daily basis. the northern occupied west back is also an important agricultural area providing the, the occupied westbank pulled a lot of its needs in terms of vegetables and also a great these refugee camps are being not just targeted to pursue with the fighters . and these really, officers and soldiers have been quoted by these rarely media saying that their orders, their protocol for firing live shots, have been relaxed. and so they do not need to shoot to injure in order to detain, they can, and they have been authorized to shoot to kill him without hesitation, which also explains the high number of civilian casualties that we've seen over the past few days

northern jordan valley. these really army has kept a very defensive pastor in the west bank, but also in the occupied serious go on. and the fact that it's doing those maneuvers is just part of its posture. a speaking to it's domestic base setting. these really are me is ready. the is really army can stripe. it can defend this borders and it's a territory is even though it is referencing occupied territory where israel doesn't have the right to stay that speaking to the base of this right wing at government, it's also a signal to israel's neighbors, to jordan, who is increasingly wary of the is really move the army movement of the fact that is really starting about creating a whole new brigade on it's porter. and also with syria who's seen is really troops move in to up syria and territory and destroyed several locations there. so that is just part of the pastor and there isn't anything special or urgent in those exercises, but it's one way if you will, to make up for all those scenes for what is happening in gaza for the fact that the base of the government is upset that these releases are happening, that palestinian prisoners are being released and that there is a possibil
