Israeli court allows army to demolish 25 residential buildings in West Bank Israel's High Court of Justice on Thursday allowed the army's planned demolition of 25 residential buildings in the Nur al-Shams refugee camp east of Tulkarm by rejecting a petition that challenged the move, Haaretz reported. The report said that Justices David Mintz, Yael Willner and Ofer Grosskopf ruled that the decision was based on "a clear and urgent military necessity". The Israeli military had announced last week that it would continue its demolition operation in the West Bank, which has led to the displacement of thousands of families from refugee camps in the region.
