                                                     Displaced people walk outside a school-turned-shelter, in Beirut Tens of thousands of Lebanese civilians have been forced into shelters after what officials described as “unprecedented” evacuation warnings issued by the Israeli military. Local authorities estimate that around 100,000 people have fled their homes in southern Lebanon within a short period, seeking safety in schools, public buildings, and makeshift community centers. The warnings follow a sharp escalation in cross‑border hostilities, with Israeli forces expanding the areas they instructed residents to evacuate.

Mass Exodus in Tulkarem: Israeli Demolition Orders Displace Hundreds of Palestinian Families

Hundreds of Palestinian families have fled the Tulkarem refugee camp in the occupied West Bank following Israeli demolition orders targeting over 100 buildings. The sudden evacuation, which took place on July 2, 2025, has left at least 400 families homeless, with local officials estimating the total number of displaced families at around 1,000.

Residents were seen hastily packing their belongings—mattresses, appliances, and personal items—onto vehicles before leaving their homes behind. The Israeli military cited a “high level of terrorism” in the area as justification for the demolitions, calling them a “tactical necessity” to ensure troop mobility.

Although Israel’s Supreme Court issued a temporary freeze on the demolitions after a petition by the human rights group Adalah, none of the displaced residents have returned as of the following day. The demolitions are part of a broader military campaign that has led to the largest wave of forced displacement in the West Bank since Israel’s 1967 occupation.

Local leaders and humanitarian groups have raised urgent concerns about the fate of the displaced, many of whom have no clear place to go. “Where will these families live? Their fate is uncertain and unknown,” said Faisal Salama, a local official in Tulkarem.

This latest development underscores the escalating humanitarian crisis in the West Bank, as military operations continue to reshape the region’s landscape and uproot its communities.
