TULKAREM, West Bank (AP) – More than 1,500 displaced people in and around the northern city of Tulkarem are being pushed from schools, youth centers and other venues because the people who run them need them back.
Israeli troops had forced them from home during a military operation that has displaced tens of thousands of Palestinians across the occupied West Bank. After finding shelter in a wedding hall, they were told to leave again.
