The IDF began stepping up raids in mid 2022, but the violence in areas such as Jenin and Nablus has soared in the wake of Hamas’s rampage through Israel on October 7th.

Cities like Tulkarm have become de facto mini warzones, with residents never sure when the next raid is coming. Innocent bystanders are increasingly being caught in the crossfire and infrastructure is being destroyed in the fighting.

The Guardian’s Bethan McKernan visited Nur Shams refugee camp to see first hand what the effects of this spiral of violence is having on its residents, and meet with those taking up arms in response.
