In December 2025, the Israeli military announced plans to demolish 25 residential buildings in the Nur Shams refugee camp in the occupied West Bank. Local authorities were informed of the demolition, which is expected to affect 100 family homes. Israel states the action is part of Operation Iron Wall, aimed at combating armed groups in the northern West Bank refugee camps. However, human rights organizations and Palestinians claim the demolitions are an attempt to confine Palestinians and change the region's geography. Displaced residents protested the demolition orders, demanding the right to return to their homes. According to Al Jazeera, approximately 1,500 homes have been demolished or damaged in the past year, forcibly displacing 32,000 Palestinians.
