Hundreds of Palestinian families flee West Bank camp ahead of Israeli demolition orders

TULKAREM REFUGEE CAMP, WEST BANK, JUL 3 – At least 400 families face homelessness as Israeli military enforces demolition orders targeting 104 buildings amid ongoing operations against militancy in West Bank camps.

  • On Wednesday, hundreds of Palestinians evacuated part of the refugee camp located in Tulkarem, West Bank, following Israeli orders to demolish approximately 104 buildings.
  • The displacement followed Israeli military operations triggered by the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023, with the military citing operational necessity in areas with high terrorism levels.
  • Local official Faisal Salama reported that recent demolition orders displaced about 1,000 families, with at least 400 facing homelessness and aid limited by the cash-strapped Palestinian Authority.
  • Sixty-Five-Year-Old Subhi Hamdan stated he was allowed only one day to vacate his home, expressing deep concern about the uncertain future and living conditions for the displaced families.
  • Late Wednesday, following a petition from the Palestinian rights organization Adalah, Israel’s Supreme Court issued a temporary hold on the demolitions, halting further displacement amid ongoing tensions.
