Israeli forces raided Balata refugee camp on the outskirts of the city of Nablus accompanied with bulldozers, a Palestinian news agency reported on Monday.
The news agency reported Israeli forces had blocked ambulances from entering the camp.
It comes days after violence erupted in Jerusalem as thousands of far-right Jews joined an annual march, marking Israel’s capture of east Jerusalem.
The Israeli celebration was viewed as a provocation by Palestinians.
More than a week ago, a deadly aerial battle between Israel and Gaza killed at least 33 Palestinians and two people in Israel.
