Hamas says the demolition of homes in the Nur Shams camp by Israeli soldiers who forced residents to flee is “a war crime”, Al Jazeera reports.

In a statement, the group said the destruction, along with remarks made by Israeli politicians, affirms “Israel’s systematic intention to displace our people” from the camps in the northern West Bank.

“We warn of the consequences of continued international silence on the crimes of the fascist occupation government against our people,” a statement said. “We call on the United Nations and its institutions to take immediate action to stop the occupation’s horrific and ongoing violations of international laws.”
