Nearly 34 hours later, the Israeli army is still operating in the Nur Shams refugee camp, Al Jazeera’s Hamdah Salhut reports from occupied East Jerusalem.

At around 3am local time, confrontations between Palestinian fighters and the Israeli military broke out once again.

We are looking at, at least, five people killed and more than 60 military vehicles and bulldozers that have gone in and wreaked havoc on the Palestinian refugee camp.

Residents are saying that this is some of the worst destruction that they have seen in decades.

Since the onslaught in Gaza started, the Israeli army has really stepped up these raids. Since all of the attention was on Gaza, there wasn’t really a lot of focus on the West Bank. So the Israeli military has been going in and killing Palestinians — at least 473 have been killed in these near-nightly raids that the Israeli military has been engaged in.

You are also looking at nearly 8,300 arrests and nearly 5,000 people who have been wounded as well.
