Israel expands demolitions of West Bank refugee homes | BBC News


One of the largest Palestinian refugee camps in the occupied West Bank has become uninhabitable, said the mayor of Jenin.

Before the outbreak of the war in Gaza in October 2023, Israel was already engaged in a military campaign against armed groups in the West Bank.

Israel’s defence minister has called the camps "nests of terror" and in January stepped up its campaign against the armed groups operating inside them – entering and blockading a number of refugee camps in the northern West Bank that are home to tens of thousands of Palestinians.

It ordered residents to leave and began a wave of building demolitions, while giving some residents brief opportunities to gather belongings.

The BBC has followed the story of one man who was forced out of the Jenin refugee camp and whose home was identified for demolition by the IDF.
