This comes as "Israel" mounts its aggression on the West Bank, raiding the city of Tulkarm and its refugee camp for the 32nd day and assaulting the Nur Shams refugee camp for the 18th day, destroying civilian infrastructure and killing Palestinian noncombatants.
The occupation intensified its demolitions of homes and residential buildings, affecting more than 26 structures in the Tulkarm camp on February 18 as part of a settlement plan, while Israeli forces announced to residents their plans to demolish 11 homes in the Nur Shams camp on February 26.

Security Minister Israel Katz stated on Sunday that Israeli forces would intensify their attacks on the refugee camps of Jenin, Tulkarm, and Nur Shams in the northern West Bank to dismantle Resistance groups, confirming that 40,000 Palestinians have already been displaced from these camps.
