A powerful explosion rocked the Nur Shams refugee camp, east of Tulkarm in the occupied West Bank, as Israeli forces continue to escalate their military operations across the region. The explosion caused a fire to break out in a building, though details remain limited as Israel has reportedly forced the displacement of local residents.
According to the Palestinian news agency Wafa, the Israeli military has also used bulldozers to level streets in the Jabal al-Nasr area of the camp and raided a house near the al-Nasr Mosque. These actions are part of a broader campaign that follows a ceasefire agreement reached between Israel and Hamas in Gaza on January 17.
The escalation in the West Bank, particularly in areas like Jenin, Tulkarem, Far’a, and Arroub, has resulted in significant displacement. The United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) reports that at least 40,000 people have been forced to flee their homes due to the ongoing raids.
As the Israeli military intensifies its presence in the West Bank, the lives of countless Palestinians are being uprooted, with refugee camps bearing the brunt of the conflict. The situation remains dire, with the region experiencing increasing violence and displacement.
