Hamas Condemns Israeli Defense Minister’s Order to Demolish West Bank Refugee Camp

Hamas has condemned an order by Israel’s Defense Minister to destroy a refugee camp in the occupied West Bank. The militant group called the directive a “dangerous escalation” and a violation of international law. The order targets a specific camp, though details on its location and the planned scale of destruction remain unclear. Israeli officials have not publicly confirmed the full scope of the operation. Hamas’s statement warns that the move could spark further violence in the region. The group, which controls the Gaza Strip, has a history of using such actions to rally support. The situation remains tense as international observers urge restraint. No immediate response from the Israeli Defense Ministry was available.
