Human Rights Watch reported that Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz instructed the Israeli military on July 28 to take control of another Palestinian refugee camp in the West Bank without identifying which one. The organization characterized the plan as suggesting potential war crimes.
The directive comes amid ongoing Israeli military operations in West Bank refugee camps. Earlier in June, the Israeli army had issued short-term access permits allowing residents to collect belongings from evacuated homes in the Tulkarem refugee camp.
