A hill overlooking the Nur Shams refugee camp in Tulkarem: This is as close as Khitam Abu al- Kheir can get to her home.  
She is one of over 10,000 Palestinians forcibly displaced from the camp by the Israeli military.

“We were like family with our neighbours, but now they’re all gone. Everyone’s house has been demolished. There’s no going back to Nur Shams. Even if we wanted to, there are no houses to return to.”   
Her house was one of several hundred demolished by the Israeli army.  
Bulldozers cut wide swathes through the once densely populated camp.  
The hill has become a meeting point for displaced camp residents. Fuad Kanooh looks at what was once his home and livelihood.

“We come because it is our land, our country, our home. Where would we go? We have to come back to see what's happening. This demolition—the destruction that has been done to us and to all people—has affected the entire community. We were harmed without any reason.”

The Israeli army says the demolitions are part of a large-scale counter-terrorism operation which started in January. They say they’re targeting Palestinian militants operating from camps in the northern West Bank. 
Ahead of the latest demolition, residents of the neighbouring Tulkarem refugee camp were given just a few hours to re-enter the camp and collect their belongings.

"There were some militants there, but they can capture them without harming civilians, but they decided to target us, they came into our homes and forced us out. This is just an operation to displace the Palestinian people."

Khitam now lives in a room just minutes away from Nur Shams camp, with her cat, which she managed to rescue. Her family is scattered across different locations, in rented rooms. 
She worked as a midwife for the United Nations relief agency, UNWRA for 30 years – now, she says, everything she worked for - her job and home – is gone.

“We'd come with our clothes. Perhaps we thought we would be expelled for 5 or 6 days and return home. But it's now been months, roughly six months. Praise be to God…..What do I feel? My heart is crushed. Praise be to God....”  
 
Residents have endured many Israeli military raids over the years in the Israeli-occupied West Bank. This time, however, no one knows when, or even if, they will be allowed to return home.
