Zionist Terror Spreads

15 Mar 2025 – Home 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 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 report. The homes were demolished for a new road through the camp for military use.

This latest escalation of violence began on 21 January—timed for the day after Trump’s inauguration—when the I.O.F. launched a new military operation it named “iron wall.”

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’ operation as they emptied and destroyed the original homes and villages belonging to the grandparents and great grandparents of today’s refugees.

Operation “iron wall” coincides with Israel’s 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.

Destroying UNRWA is an effective way to erase the presence and existence of Palestinian refugees altogether. This, in effect, renders U.N. resolution 194—which established a right of return for Palestinian refugees to the land and homes stolen during the Nakba—meaningless.
