The article reports on the recent wave of home demolitions in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, particularly affecting the Nur Shams refugee camp and surrounding areas. Israeli forces have already razed 120 homes and targeted an additional 20, according to local authorities. The demolitions are part of a broader military campaign that has displaced tens of thousands of Palestinians, including long-standing communities in Tulkarem and Nur Shams. Additionally, a Bedouin village in Masafer Yatta was destroyed under claims of illegal construction, coinciding with the expansion of nearby Israeli settler outposts, leading to claims of state complicity with settlers' actions.
Mattresses strapped to car roofs, families fled the Nur Shams refugee camp in the Israeli-occupied West Bank on Tuesday, ahead of a planned wave of demolitions.
Israeli forces have already razed 120 homes, with 20 more targeted in the latest military operation, according to Nihad al Shawish, the head of the committee in the camp.
The offensive has displaced tens of thousands, including long-established Palestinian communities in Tulkarem and Nur Shams.
Palestinians say the settlers operate with the tacit consent of the Israeli state, which carries out home demolitions and rarely prosecutes settlers for instances of violence against Palestinians.
