5. Wide of soldiers and bulldozers amidst rubble during demolition

6. Wide Mazen Khadra, resident of Tulkarem refugee camp, talking on the phone

7. SOUNDBITE (Arabic) Mazen Khadra, resident of Tulkarem refugee camp :

"They (the Israeli government) are taking advantage of their war with Iran and using the current situation to destroy the Tulkarem refugee camp. They've left no sewage system, no electricity, no water — they’ve destroyed the entire infrastructure. Tulkarem camp has become completely uninhabitable, as you can see. They’ve created a road of 40 meters wide right through the camp — it’s clearly a displacement policy."

8. Cutaway of residents gathered under a canopy overlooking Tulkarem refugee camp during demolition

9. SOUNDBITE (Arabic) Mazen Khadra, resident of Tulkarem refugee camp :

"There’s a media blackout on what’s happening in Tulkarem camp — destruction of infrastructure, displacement, forced migration, killings, burning of homes. Any house that’s left standing, they set it on fire. This is a crime by a racist, fascist occupation government. Israel’s wars are being used to cover up what’s happening in Tulkarem, as well as in Nur Shams and Jenin camps."

10. Wide Tulkarem Governorate building

11. Close up of sign, reading (English) "Palestinian Liberation Organization, Palestine National Authority, Tulkarm Government"

12. SOUNDBITE (Arabic) Abdullah Kmail, governor of Tulkarem:

"The ongoing situation between Iran and Israel has overshadowed the events in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Massacres are being committed against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, and operations of demolitions and destruction of camps in the West Bank. Israel is committing blatant violations of international law and international humanitarian law, exploiting these events that have overshadowed the happenings here in Palestine."

13. Cutaway

14. SOUNDBITE (Arabic) Abdullah Kmail, governor of Tulkarem:

"Hundreds of homes have truly been destroyed. When we talk about a single building, it usually consists of at least four housing units. So, with 106 buildings recently demolished — and the demolitions still ongoing — we are talking about 420 housing units in total. In addition, many other homes were already destroyed during previous raids, which included aerial bombings and bulldozing operations. Even the UNRWA office was not spared from the destruction and bulldozing."

15. Various of a child suffering from malnutrition being examined

16. SOUNDBITE (English) Sammy Nyang’a, nutritionist:

10. Various of cruise ship leaving the port of Limassol en route to Israel

STORYLINE:

David Agami has been eager to leave Cyprus and get back to his wife and six children since his flight from the US was diverted when Israel and Iran began trading air attacks last week.

On Thursday, he was among hundreds of other Israelis who found spots aboard the Israeli cruise ship Crown Iris, which embarked on the trip of about 270 kilometers (167 miles) to Israel. The ship docked in the port city of Limassol Wednesday morning after dropping off hundreds of Jewish emigrees from the US who were evacuated from Israel.

“There’s nothing you can do, it’s all in God’s hands. If it’s your time it’s your time, I think we’d prefer to be there than here definitely,” said Agami, who is attempting

to reach Bet Shemesh between Israel’s port city of Ashdod and Jerusalem.

Cyprus’ chief Rabbi Arie Zeev Raskin told The Associated Press that approximately 6,500 Israelis were in Cyprus after being diverted to the east Mediterranean island, the closest European nation to Israel, or traveling there voluntarily in hopes of catching a flight or boat trip back to their country.

Cyprus has become a key transit point for the repatriation of third-country nationals fleeing conflict areas i... [truncated]

12. SOUNDBITE (English) Derek Gatopoulos, The Associated Press:

"Ten years ago, this rocky stretch of coastline on the Greek island of Lesbos was at the heart of Europe’s migration crisis. Just across the water – six miles away – lies Turkey. And these beaches here on Lesbos’s northern shore, became the main landing point for refugees and migrants trying to reach the European Union. Smuggling networks exploited the short sea route. And in 2015 and ‘16, the scale of the arrivals was staggering. Hundreds of thousands of people made the journey. Dozens of boats could land here on a single day. Most were fleeing war and upheaval in Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan. But not everyone survived the trip. The crossing also brought countless accidents at sea – capsized boats, frantic rescues, and numerous drownings. These beaches, remote and normally quiet, became a symbol of the crisis: littered with life jackets left behind by those who made it across. The influx hammered the island’s tourism industry and triggered a political crisis. Countries across Europe tightened their borders. Asylum seekers were detained and public concern helped push many governments toward stricter migration policies. A decade later, northern Lesbos stands as a reminder – not just as being one of the busiest migration routes in recent history – but of the geographic, humanitarian, and political forces that collided here."

Unfortunately, after the hit in Petach Tikva, where people were hurt even inside the safe room, I decided to sleep here.
