A bakery, clothing shops, shoe stores, shops and restaurants, which were destroyed, according to Fasfous, were built in 2007, but only now City Council stated that the authorities did not receive construction permits.
The Israeli soldiers reportedly were using gas bombs, rubber-coated steel bullets and concussion grenades, while entering the refugee camp.
The demolition orders allegedly were issued after Israelis entered Shu'fat camp, according to IMEMC News.
The Palestinian refugee problem arose more than 60 years ago due regional wars, resulting in the displacement of millions of Palestinians. It remains one of the most severe issues in the bilateral relations of the State of Israel and the partly recognized state of Palestine.
