B'Tselem: Israel expels 66 West Bank villages since Oct 2023, razes Khirbet al-Taban

Israeli rights group B'Tselem reports that Israeli forces have forcibly expelled residents of 66 Palestinian villages in the West Bank since October 2023, with the latest incident involving the demolition of all homes in Khirbet al-Taban, displacing about 70 Palestinians, including 28 children. The claim is based on B'Tselem's documentation, not independently verified. This continues an established pattern of displacement but marks a notable acceleration, underscoring the scale of forced displacement in the West Bank amid ongoing conflict.
