> A UN human rights report says Israel’s Operation Iron Wall displaced more than 33,000 Palestinians from three refugee camps in the occupied West Bank and appears to constitute collective punishment, raising concerns of ethnic cleansing. It warns that the large-scale, systematic displacement could amount to the crime against humanity of forcible transfer.
