Israeli occupation forces forced a number of residents of the Jabal al-Salihin area in the Nur Shams refugee camp, east of Tulkarm, to evacuate their homes on Sunday evening, in a new escalation of violence against the camp's residents.

In the same context, the occupation forces proceeded to take a young man with them after assaulting him near the entrance to the Manshiyya neighborhood in the camp, without knowing his fate. They also detained a group of young men at the same location, forcing them to sit on the ground while threatening them with weapons and abusing them, without knowing their identities.

Nour Shams camp has been subjected to a relentless Israeli aggression and a 57-day-long siege, causing extensive damage to infrastructure and property and exacerbating humanitarian suffering among residents.

The camp has also witnessed raids and searches of homes, particularly in the Jabal al-Nasr and al-Salihin neighborhoods, with a number of homes being converted into military barracks after their residents were expelled through threats and intimidation.

In addition, the Popular Committee for Camp Services documented the extent of the widespread destruction caused by the Israeli occupation to the camp's homes during a field visit to monitor the effects of the ongoing aggression.

Footage from inside the camp showed widespread destruction in a number of homes, including some deliberately set on fire. Signs of fire were clearly visible on walls and roofs, along with burnt furniture and charred belongings.

The Popular Committee confirmed that the documentation reveals the extent of the violations against civilians, particularly given that many of these homes were inhabited by families prior to the raid.

In a related development, a number of camp residents were able to return to their damaged homes today, in an attempt to retrieve personal and essential belongings.

Residents reported that their return occurred individually, without prior coordination, amidst a state of tension, fear, and risk, given the extent of the destruction throughout the camp.

Some residents indicated that what they were able to collect did not compensate for the severe losses they suffered, particularly psychological and material.
