Around 40,000 people have been forced from four camps in the north of the occupied West Bank .

Israel is calling it 'Operation Iron Wall' against Palestinian armed groups.

Aid agencies say it's the largest forced displacement of Palestinians in the West Bank since it was captured by Israeli forces during the 1967 Six Day War .

In the centre of a nearby roundabout, a miniature replica of Jerusalem 's iconic Dome of the Rock had been smashed to pieces. Despite Israel Katz's warning, no-one knows how long the operation, and the restrictions on civilians, will last. "If we can't go back to our house for a year , it's going to be a disaster," says Alaa Ofi . "We'll be left stranded in the streets with the kids.".
