The focus is Jenin and its refugee camp, which has increasingly become a stronghold for Palestinian militants loyal to Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad but is also home to thousands of civilians.
Palestinians and Israelis have barely had time to process the end of a ruinous 15-month war before Israel launched a ‘major counter-terrorism’ operation in the West Bank.
Bel Trew reports from Jenin where families are fleeing their homes as the bullets and bombs rain down, sparking fears of a new conflict threatening peace.
A little ahead is Lutifyeh, a mother-of-12 in her sixties, who says they all fled after Israeli drones fitted with speakers that morning ordered them to leave immediately.
Among them is eight-year-old Asmaa, in a pink jumper, clutching a baby goat she says her family rescued on their way out.
