US EditionHundreds of Palestinian families flee West Bank camp ahead of Israeli demolition orders
- 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.
