Israeli bulldozers, accompanied by a large military force, entered the al-Bassah area of the camp and demolished the home of Omar Muheisen and two others under construction, popular committee head Ahmad Abu Kheiran told Ma'an.

Camp residents are afraid that more homes could be under threat of demolition, he added.
