Motaz Mohor, one of the residents affected by the demolitions, has already been displaced along with his family. He expressed the emotional and social impact of losing their home, emphasizing the ties to family, neighbors, and community.
The displacement history of Mohor's family includes previous displacements from Jaffa and Haifa. Currently, about 25 to 30 individuals are residing in an apartment that is less than 100 square meters in size.

Israel’s military operations in refugee camps in the northern part of the occupied West Bank in early 2025 resulted in significant displacement, reportedly the largest in decades. Human Rights Watch has documented these events.
The timeline for when, or if, Palestinians will be able to return to some of these camps remains uncertain. The Israeli military has indicated that its forces may remain in certain camps for up to a year.
