Israel demolishes 50 Palestinians homes in single day in West Bank

The Israeli occupation army yesterday demolished 50 homes in Nur Shams refugee camp, east of Tulkarm city, in the northern occupied West Bank.

Local sources said occupation forces brought huge bulldozers to the refugee camp earlier in the morning and began the demolition operations.

According to the sources, the Israeli occupation army allowed some families to enter their homes in Nur Shams camp on Wednesday and retrieve some of their belongings before carrying out the large-scale demolition operation the following day.

The army detained a woman for a short period before releasing her, they added.

The Israeli military escalation in the camps in the northern occupied West Bank forced tens of thousands of families to flee their homes, amidst widespread destruction of homes and infrastructure.

Since the occupation army launched its aggression, 66 Palestinians have been killed and dozens were injured, while hundreds have been detained.
