Demolition and eviction in Ein Camp

Camp No. 1, established in 1950 near Nablus, is also called Ein Beit el-Ma’ (Spring of the House of Water), as it once received water from a nearby spring. Located on the Nablus-Tulkarm road, often used by the Israeli military, the camp faces frequent incursions, arrests, and damage to shelters. It is one of the smallest but most densely populated camps in the West Bank. Since October 2023, escalating tensions and restrictions have hindered humanitarian aid. Following the Iron Wall Operation in early 2025, the camp has become a target of Israeli policies aimed at displacement and ethnic cleansing.

According to an article of Haaretz, on March 21, "the Israeli army announced its intention this week to demolish about 95 homes in the Jenin refugee camp and around 85 homes in the Al Ein refugee camp near the West Bank city of Nablus. The stated goal is to change the routes of roads inside the camps and widen them so they'll be accessible to armored vehicles. Meanwhile, the army believes that the operation in the Tulkarm refugee camp has run its course, but forces continue to occupy homes that have become command centers, and soldiers are preventing residents from returning home"
