Israel’s New Target: Refugee Camps

2 Mins Read

According to the Israeli press, the Israeli army has refugee camps as a new target in the attacks it has launched in the north of the West Bank. Israeli media reported that the Israeli army plans to dismantle refugee camps in the cities of Jenin and Tulkarem in the occupied West Bank. The Walla website stated that the biggest challenge faced by the Israeli army in the attacks it launched in the north of the West Bank is dealing with the refugee camps that have turned into “fortified cities.” The news mentioned that when the army wants to carry out detention operations or assassinations in these areas, it has to infiltrate these regions with covert forces, and it was noted that the Palestinian armed groups flee to nearby villages and hide. The news pointed out the need for the army to restore freedom of movement in these camps designed like “fortresses,” and according to the decision made by the Commander of the Central Forces of Israel, Major General Ali Belot, the refugee camps in Jenin and Tulkarem should be dismantled and turned into ordinary neighborhoods. The news also mentioned that the army has started advanced engineering work based on intelligence information aimed at constructing new roads in the camps and expanding existing ones. It was argued that this would provide multi-directional access to the camps and prevent resistance from attempting to relocate in the region. “IRON WALL” ATTACK Following the ceasefire reached in Gaza coming into effect on January 19, the Israeli army launched an attack called “Iron Wall” on January 21 in the city of Jenin and the refugee camp located in the north of the occupied West Bank. Subsequently, the attacks were expanded to include the camps in Tulkarem and Tubas. While continuing its occupation in the camps in Jenin and TulKarem, the Israeli army destroyed nearly 100 buildings there. Since October 7, 2023, Israeli attacks by Israelis who have occupied Palestinian lands with Israeli soldiers in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem have resulted in the loss of lives of 939 Palestinians, including 168 children, and approximately 7,000 people have been injured.
