Israeli Defense Minister KATZ said on the 28th he has ordered the IDF to expand
operations in the West Bank and prepare to take over a Palestinian refugee camp
and forcibly evacuate residents. The statement did not identify the camp but
said the takeover would mirror prior IDF actions in Jenin, Tulkarem and Nur
Shams: forced evacuations, removal of armed infrastructure and long-term
garrisoning by the military.
