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.

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"* **Last main events :** On March 19, 2025: Israeli forces conducted a raid in Al-Ain camp, resulting in the death of a Palestinian man and injuries to others. The forces also arrested several individuals and transformed multiple homes into military outposts after forcibly displacing residents.
