Insecurity Insight identified 3625 incidents that took place at refugee or makeshift camps in the occupied Palestinian territory (oPt) between 07 October 2023 and 30 April. In the West Bank, 1033 incidents were recorded, with a sharp rise in February 2025 during the IDFs Iron Wall offensive, which began on 21 January.
The operation targeted refugee camps in Balata, Far’a, Jenin, Nur Shams, and Tulkarm, as well as surrounding towns, using tanks—deployed in Jenin for the first time since 2002—alongside armorred bulldozers and excavators. Demolitions, house raids, road and infrastructure destruction were widespread. At least 53 camp residents were killed, 63 injured and 66 arrested.
