100 Palestinian families homeless after their homes were demolished in Nour Shams camp

Abdullah Kamel, Governor of Tulkarm in the occupied West Bank, confirmed that 100 Palestinian families have become homeless after Israeli occupation forces began demolishing their homes in Nour Shams camp.

The governor added that Israel is retaliating against Palestinians by carrying out demolition operations on their homes.

The Popular Committee for Nour Shams Camp Services reported that more than 1,500 families have been displaced due to Israel's demolition plan in recent times.

The committee indicated that the fate of these Palestinian families whose homes were demolished remains unknown.

Occupation forces began demolishing 25 buildings in Nour Shams camp, comprising about 100 homes, in continuation of the widespread demolition policy affecting Palestinian camps in the area.

What has been discussed recently, according to the American Research Institute, is that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will do what he deems appropriate in the West Bank.

And what Netanyahu deems appropriate has been complemented by incursions and widespread demolition operations in the camps.

It was reported that residents of the buildings accused of demolition were expelled upon the start of the ongoing Israeli incursion into the camp for about a year.

It was mentioned that the occupation had demolished 400 homes since the beginning of the year in Nour Shams camp alone.

Prior to this incursion, which is considered the longest in the camp's history, the occupation army demolished nearly 300 homes in previous incursions, according to the Popular Committee for Nour Shams Camp Services.

It indicated that Israeli occupation forces continue to control camps in northern West Bank, specifically the camps of Jenin, Tulkarm, and Nour Shams, while displaced people live in very difficult conditions.

And emphasized that Nour Shams camp is entirely civilian, with a small number of resistors, but the Israeli side justifies demolition operations with military reasons.

It spoke of submitting a petition from the "Adalah" Center, but the Israeli Supreme Court rejected it and approved the demolition operations, despite the Attorney General confirming that these residences are civilian and not used for military purposes.

It added that the Israeli Supreme Court, which rejected previous petitions from human rights institutions, completely sides with what the occupation army sees, and has not done justice to the families of the camps whose homes were demolished.
