On 3 March, the Israeli military arrived at the Faratawi property and gave the family an hour and a half to leave. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) took over the building while they carried out a huge operation nearby, in Tulkarm refugee camp.

 

"They took it as an army base and they lived in it for three-and-a-half months, using it like a hotel, and then they set it on fire," Nasser says, still in disbelief at what happened.

 

In the last two weeks of June, during Israel's war with Iran, the UN's Humanitarian Office (Ocha) documented Israeli soldiers taking over about 267 Palestinian homes for periods ranging from several hours to a few days. An early estimate suggested more than 1,300 people were affected, who Ocha says "in most cases returned to their homes to find their property vandalised".

It’s clear the IDF see the Palestinians as the enemy.
