Update 13 Feb 2025:
The occupation withdrew from the camp after 11 days of agression, leaving behind losses estimated at hundreds of thousands of dollars in infrastructure and citizens’ homes. In addition to disrupting the educational process for all age groups.
It seems that school attendance will not be regular in the coming days due to the difficulty of reaching schools and educational institutions and due to the destruction of the infrastructure, especially the streets. Thousands of camp residents are also forced to flee the camp under threat of arms.
The occupation will continue to commit these crimes as long as accountability is absent from the table.
We who escaped before this recent aggression, returned home only to find our home completely destroyed. We had to leave again and begin thinking what we will do next.
Update 11 Feb 2025:
They went into my West Bank friend’s house and destroyed it, then went into the neighbor’s house and this is from the neighbor:
My neighbor in the camp wrote; ”During the fierce attack of the Zionist occupation on our beloved camp, the soldiers used our house as a military barracks (it doesn’t matter).
The soldiers broke and vandalized the house (may God compensate us)
The soldiers stole from the house (just like our brothers in the camp)
But in a school bag for my little girl,
Can anyone convince that soldier to return it to my daughter? Or at least, can that soldier tell us what he is doing with it?
May God help us! “”
Update 8 Feb 2025:
A second Nakba has begun in Al-Far’a camp. Today, dozens of families were displaced outside the camp under threat of arms. Does the world dare to say: No?
Update 7 Feb 2025:
The invasion of Al-Far’a camp and the town of Tamoun continues for the sixth consecutive day.
The occupation army continues to storm homes, arrest their residents, destroy their contents, seize those homes, and sleep in their rooms after the residents go out to nowhere.
All this in very cold weather, with the continued water outage, the depletion of food supplies, and the prevention of residents from normal movement.
4 Feb 2025
Ethnic cleansing under our very own eyes and Trump says Israel is too small and wants even more land. The West Bank is under siege and here is the message from my friend. Please pray for his and his family’s safety:
“Good morning,
Al-Far’a camp has been under siege for three consecutive days.
All entrances to the camp are closed, and entry and exit are prohibited.
At night, many homes were stormed, several homes were displaced, and their residents were threatened not to return. Water was completely cut off from the camp as a result of the destruction of the internal network lines, and the occupation prevents their repair.
Some electricity lines were destroyed and their repair is prohibited.
The communications and internet network inside the camp was destroyed.
The residents suffer from a shortage of food and the lack of bread inside the camp.
There are many homes that no longer have any food, sanitary pads for women and children, or baby milk, and there is a shortage of medicines for chronic diseases such as high blood pressure and diabetes, and the occupation prevents their arrival.
The occupation forces evacuated an entire residential block in the camp, which belongs to the Al-Muslimani family and contains more than ten homes, and expelled the residents from it, took control of it and set up a military barracks for the occupation soldiers in it.
The residents of the evacuated homes were informed not to return until after two weeks or until they obtain permission from the occupation army to do so.
The occupation deploys snipers on high buildings and shoots at anything that moves.
The occupation prevented the Red Crescent crews from moving or working under threat of shooting except with prior permission from the occupation forces.
The body of a girl who died two days ago is still in the morgue in the camp and is not allowed to be buried.
There are numerous appeals from the residents to provide bread, food and essential needs, but no one responds in light of the intransigence of the occupation forces, which are carrying out a process of systematic destruction, displacement and demolition of homes and infrastructure inside and around the camp.”
22 Jan 2025:
Alert! The occupation is exploiting the preoccupation of people and the world with the details of the ceasefire in Gaza, and is starting a frenzied campaign to implement its plans towards the West Bank in the absence of sufficient media coverage, especially after the occupation authorities blocked Al Jazeera’s coverage. What is happening in the northern West Bank is more dangerous than all previous invasions!
25 Dec 2025: Dear teacher, This time, the anniversary of the birth of Jesus Christ passes, while the people of the Holy Land suffer from ongoing injustice and aggression. Please remember us in your prayers, and do not forget us in your meetings and gatherings. We assure you on this occasion that we love life, and we want to live in peace and freedom, like you and the rest of the free world. We wish you and your beloved ones a Merry Christmas. You have all our love and appreciation.
Al Far’a Camp North of Nablus.
28 Nov 2024: The Israeli army published a documentary video about its military operation in the Far’a camp yesterday. I copied a screenshot showing a group of soldiers accompanied by a sniper, shooting at houses. The picture shows my house where I live with my four sons, my wife and my 80-year-old mother. Imagine ten hours of terror and waiting for death! (I have the original video and I can provide it to you if you wish).
27 Nov 2024: The occupation army withdrew from Al-Far’a camp, after a ten-hour aggression. The occupation forces raided dozens of homes and tampered with their contents without giving a clear reason for this attack. The aggression resulted in six injuries ranging from moderate to serious, in addition to a number of detainees who were taken to an unknown location. The massive destruction of streets and infrastructure turned some neighborhoods of the camp into disaster areas, due to the accumulation of dozens of cubic meters of sewage, rubble and mud, as the weather conditions increased the difficulty of the situation.
27 Nov 2024: Al-Far’a_Camp The occupation forces are searching ambulances and preventing them from transporting the injured to hospitals.
Alert! My camp is being exposed to new aggression
5 Nov 2024:
Alert! Our camp and the surrounding villages have been subjected to a comprehensive military campaign since midnight. There are huge military vehicles bulldozing the streets, and there are infantry forces storming and searching houses and making random arrests. So far, a house has been blown up after its residents had evacuated it, leaving its residents, children and women, to spend the night on the side of the road despite the bitter cold. These forces are also firing heavily and one-sidedly, with the aim of terrorizing the citizens and preventing them from sleeping. The military campaign is still ongoing with a complete absence of media outlets. In the neighboring village of Tamoun, a military bulldozer ran over a citizen and turned him into pieces.
At this moment, military vehicles began to withdraw from the camp, leaving behind great destruction to what remained of the infrastructure, and a number of detainees.
10 October 2024:
They broke our door, and they turned the contents of the house upside down, destroyed part of the kitchen contents and caused a huge noise and terror. They were more than twenty soldiers and then left the house without saying a single word to us. They afterwards continued to more than twenty other houses. It was a new harsh night, added to their rich record (breaking into houses, arbitrary and random arrests, destroying all the previously repaired infrastructure, and they broke into the mosque and smashed its doors and windows, then they ate their food in a barbaric manner inside the mosque in a provocative move to people’s feelings) They withdrew from the camp around ten o’clock in the morning.
5 October 2024:
Alert!! Al-Far’a Camp Wadi Al-Far’a At early time of today dawn, the occupation forces stormed our area and surrounded a house, with the aim of arresting a person. While he was leaving the house to turn himself in, the soldiers opened fire on Ahmad Awaisa 30 years, and he was martyred immediately. The army confiscated the body. It is worth noting that this young man was released from Israeli detention two weeks ago. The occupation forces withdrew late after the assassination.
4 September 2024:
As a result of the airstrikes on Al-Far’a camp, up until now, four martyrs, aged between 22 and 24.
Alert #AlFaraa We are exposed to new aggression Please don’t stop praying for innocents My daughters are scared!! They storm homes in a random and barbaric manner, destroying everything they can get their hands on. As usual, the huge bulldozer is destroying the infrastructure. We are so far safe …
27 August 2024: Our camp is currently under a strong and comprehensive attack. Hebrew media says: The military operation will be the largest to destroy the resistance infrastructure in the entire northern West Bank and may include bombing targets.

14 August 2024:
Good morning Our area has been exposed to a fierce military attack since the early hours of the morning. There are five martyrs so far, in addition to a number of wounded, and ambulances are trying to reach them, but the occupation is still preventing them. As soon as the military operation began, I sent my wife and two of my daughters in addition to my son Wael towards Nablus, where they were surprised by a flying military checkpoint, and they were detained for an hour under the scorching sun, then released towards Nablus, thank God they are now safe. As for here, the situation is still the same. (Update 11:00 am)
12 am, the invasion is over.
30 June 2024: If you are still interested in the number of times Al-Faraa camp was stormed, you can add a new number to the total number… About an hour ago, the people of the camp discovered a special Zionist force that entered the alleys of the camp dressed as doctors. They shot one of the young men, but he miraculously survived. Then they raided a billiard games shop and arrested the shop owner, then they withdrew towards the military bases in the Jordan Valley.
24 June 2024: Another night of terror and destruction of infrastructure Six continuous hours of oppression, fear, and children crying (Note: The video was filmed by the Red Crescent) This is Al-Faraa camp June 24th, 2024
16 June 2024: Updates from Al Faraa refugee camp: The occupation forces withdrew from my camp, after an invasion that lasted four hours. This sudden invasion comes at a time when people are celebrating the rituals of Eid Al-Adha with hundreds of children spread out in the streets. The invasion resulted in four bullet wounds, one of them serious, in addition to a group of detainees, most of whom were university students. In the adjacent neighborhood, the contents of four houses were completely destroyed, in addition to destroying a number of cars that were located on both sides of the road.
12 April 2024: Once again: During the past ten hours, our camp has been subjected to a new aggression. Dozens of military vehicles, supported by two huge D9 military bulldozers, stormed the camp suddenly and opened fire in every direction, leading to the death of two young men and the wounding of three other young men with varying injuries. In addition, an infantry force stormed our residential neighborhood and uprooted the gates of the houses using mobile hydraulic cranes. This attack also affected the gate of our house, but thank God they were not able to enter our daughters’ rooms due to the accumulation of rubble and debris. The aggressors’ army withdrew a short while ago, and we are currently carrying the martyrs’ funeral to the cemetery.
3 April 2024: A new terrifying night, added to the record of nights and days in which the occupation attacked our camp, brutally destroying most of the camp’s streets using a huge D9 military bulldozer. Since the camp’s streets are narrow, this bulldozer, guarded by a military force mounted on dozens of military vehicles, removed everything in its path, including walls, entrances to homes, and infrastructure, as water and electricity were completely cut off from the camp. The soldiers stormed many homes and attacked citizens by beating and random searches, which led to many human injuries that were transferred to hospitals after the attacking force withdrew. The attack on the camp’s citizens began at 1:30 a.m. and continued until 6 a.m., during which the sounds of gunfire, explosions, and drone flight did not stop. It is noteworthy that the Palestinian camps are located at the center of the army’s military targeting circle, because of their national symbolism and because of their refugees’ adherence to the right to return to the lands from which they were expelled in 1948.
26 Feb 2024: Since 11 pm we are facing one of the worst nights! Streets and infrastructure are being destroyed, in addition to one victim and number of injuries, so far. I can see the ambulances are blocked of transferring injuries by the D9. A new martyr right now. I apologize for the inconvenience at this time, but I fear that something will happen to us, and then no one will know about us!
The invasion ended at 6:20 a.m., leaving two martyrs and a number of wounded, and the destruction of the camp’s infrastructure.
13 Jan 2024: They caused all this destruction then left.
