Israeli aggression continues to intensify across cities and refugee camps in the occupied West Bank—particularly in its northern regions—as the military’s “Operation Iron Swords” enters its fourth consecutive month. The ongoing campaign has resulted in the martyrdom of dozens of Palestinians and left hundreds injured.
The large-scale military operation has also triggered the displacement of tens of thousands of Palestinians due to the Israeli enemy’s deliberate destruction of infrastructure, homes, and civilian buildings.
Demolitions Accelerate
The Israeli occupation forces are escalating home demolitions in Palestinian cities and camps in an effort to impose a new reality on the ground.
In the Nour Shams refugee camp, east of Tulkarm in the northern West Bank, Israeli occupation forces informed residents of further demolitions under a newly published engineering map. The notification came as the aggression against the camp entered its 87th day and the broader campaign in Tulkarm city and camp reached its 100th day.

According to media sources, the Israeli occupation army is targeting the demolition of 16 homes—part of a planned 48—mainly concentrated in the center of the camp near Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq Mosque and the western outskirts near the slaughterhouse area.
On Monday, the occupation army began implementing its demolition plan in the Al-Manshiya neighborhood, aiming to bisect the eastern section of the camp.
The broader military order includes the demolition of 58 homes and buildings in the Tulkarm camp, as the army continues deploying ground troops and reinforcements into the area.
Bulldozing in Jenin
In Jenin city and camp, Israeli occupation forces have sustained their military assault for the 107th consecutive day. Reinforcements continue to arrive alongside large-scale raids across multiple neighborhoods.
Israeli occupation forces also stormed villages and towns west and east of Jenin, though no arrests were reported. In the southern town of Yabad, Israeli bulldozers carried out land-leveling operations in the agricultural plain near the Dotan checkpoint, with the area still declared a closed military zone.
Ongoing Violations in Nablus
In Nablus, an Israeli military unit stormed Joseph’s Tomb in the eastern part of the city, ahead of a planned visit by extremist Jewish settlers.
Our correspondent reported that Israeli forces imposed a heavy security cordon around the area, deploying snipers and infantry units while conducting multiple raids.
In a related development, occupation forces re-entered the city and arrested former prisoner Wael Al-Jaghoub, a released detainee from a previous prisoner exchange. Additionally, Israeli troops arrested three Palestinians in Tulkarm from the southern neighborhood and the suburb of Dhinnaba.
