UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), in its latest situation report on deteriorating conditions for Palestinians in the West Bank, reports that in the period between June 13 and 23, Israeli soldiers temporarily “took over” 240 Palestinian homes to use them as military outposts and interrogation centres, Al Jazeera reports.

The owners of the homes were either forcibly evicted or detained, the UN said, during the military’s home invasions.

In the West Bank’s Tulkarem and Nur Shams refugee camps, nearly 100 structures — mostly homes — were also demolished by the Israeli military this month, and in occupied East Jerusalem, almost 320 residents in three Palestinian communities face renewed eviction and demolition threats, OCHA said.

The UN agency raised alarm on an Israeli military notice that all buildings will be destroyed in 13 Palestinian communities in the Masafer Yatta area in the occupied West Bank.

At least 1,200 people, including more than 500 children, are now at risk of “forced displacement” if the military carries out its planned demolitions, the OCHA said.
