Mass arrests come as army issues evacuation orders to families in Nur Shams camp, giving them three hours to leave.

Israeli forces have arrested at least 50 Palestinians, including children and former prisoners, across the occupied West Bank since last evening, a joint statement by the Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs and the Palestinian Prisoner’s Society said on Monday.

Gaza Israel has deployed tanks into the West Bank for the first time in 20 years, as its defence minister pledged a long-term operation that will prevent at least 40,000 displaced refugees from returning home.
