The raid at al\u2013Arroub, West Bank, 25 Feb 2025<\/p><\/div>\n

Zionist Terror Spreads<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

15 Mar 2025\u00a0<\/em>–\u00a0Home demolitions surged in the northern West Bank governorates of Tulkarm and Jenin during the first week of March. On 6 March, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency reported<\/a> that Israel Occupation Forces destroyed 16 buildings in the camp of Nur Shams, located in the Tulkarm Governorate. Residents were given two and a half hours to vacate homes they had lived in for years, according to a Middle East Monitor<\/a><\/em> report<\/a>. The homes were demolished for a new road through the camp for military use.<\/p>\n

This latest escalation of violence began on 21 January\u2014timed for the day after Trump\u2019s inauguration\u2014when the I.O.F. launched a new military operation it named \u201ciron wall.\u201d<\/p>\n

As the apartheid regime moves to annex the West Bank, it continues to target refugee camps with what is almost certainly the intent to destroy and empty them. This is a straight repeat of the Zionists\u2019 operation as they emptied and destroyed the original homes and villages belonging to the grandparents and great grandparents of today\u2019s refugees.<\/p>\n

Operation \u201ciron wall\u201d coincides with Israel\u2019s efforts to shut down all UNRWA facilities throughout Occupied Palestine. Without UNRWA, the camps will quickly collapse. The organization provides many of the services necessary to community and human life: education, primary health care, social services, infrastructure improvement, and basic camp sanitation including overseeing water quality and garbage removal.<\/p>\n

Destroying UNRWA is an effective way to erase the presence and existence of Palestinian refugees altogether. This, in effect, renders U.N. resolution 194\u2014which established a right of return for Palestinian refugees to the land and homes stolen during the Nakba\u2014meaningless.<\/p>\n
