After the border with the State of Israel was sealed, the refugees moved into concrete housing that replaced the original tents.

In November 2007, Palestinian National Authority police officers climbed rooftops in Balata and engaged in gun battles with militants of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades who had turned the camp into a military stronghold.
