Askar is a Palestinian refugee camp on the outskirts of Nablus in the West Bank. Through 2020 the opening explained that IDF incursions there target "suspected militants who Israeli authorities consider to be affiliated with listed terrorist organisations." Today the opening covers only the camp's founding and population figures, though terror survives once in the body. A reader arriving now does not learn from the opening that Israeli operations in the camp target people linked to listed terrorist organizations.

According to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency, the camps registered population is 14,629. Food rations are distributed to approximately 2086 families. During the 2000 Intifada and 2002 Israeli Defence Force (IDF) incursions, camps such as Askar were a source of considerable resistance from Palestinian gunmen. IDF incursions are still common in Askar refugee camp and are generally conducted for the purposes of interrogating individuals or arresting suspected militants who Israeli authorities consider to be affiliated with listed terrorist organisations. The UNRWA has several installations in Askar refugee camp including schools and health clinics. However, in addition to these the camp has several of its own community centers including the Center of Peace and Development located in New Askar.
