Israel has razed at least 260 buildings containing around 800 apartments during 'Operation Iron Wall' Campaign against armed groups operating inside refugee camps in northern West Bank .

UN estimates 42,000 Palestinians have been displaced from the camps since January .

Israel 's defence minister has called the camps "nests of terror" and has instructed the military to remain in the refugee camps for a year .

Israel 's blockade of West Bank refugee camps has made establishing information about what is happening inside nearly impossible, says Unrwa 's Roland Friedrich .

Israel issued a map of over 90 buildings it identified for demolition in Jenin in March .

Satellite imagery reveals many further demolitions have taken place since January .
