Israeli forces, who have been carrying out a large-scale operation in the occupied West Bank, are continuing to destroy homes and infrastructure across the Nur Shams camp, Al Jazeera reports.

One resident, Nihaya al-Joundi, told Al Jazeera that many homes have been reduced to rubble.

“We woke up to the sound of excavators digging the camp’s yards on the main street and destroying some houses completely,” she said. “Originally, they were partially destroyed, but they reduced them to rubble today.”

Another resident, who was forcibly displaced, said he does not know where to go. “We got displaced. My family members went to their relatives and neighbours,” said Akram Abu Talal.

“Where can we possibly go? Either to mosques or public halls. Those who have money rented a house, and those who do not have money cannot do anything.”
