Al-Arroub (Arabic: مخيّم العروب, lit. 'Camp al-'Arrub') is a Palestinian refugee camp located adjacent to the town of Shuyukh al-Arrub in the southern West Bank along the Hebron-Jerusalem road, in the Hebron Governorate of the State of Palestine. Al-Arroub is 15 kilometers south of Bethlehem, with a total land area of 240 dunums.
Since the Six-Day War in 1967, the camp has been under Israeli occupation. The population in the 1967 census conducted by the Israeli authorities was 3,647.[2]
According to the UNRWA, in 2005, it had a population of 9,859 registered refugees.[3] According to the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics (PCBS), the camp's population was 8,941 in 2011.[1]
In 2002, two schools were built in the camp: the Arroup Secondary School for boys, and another school for girls.[3]

On 11 November 2019, Omar Badawi (22) was shot dead by Israeli troops in a nearby alley as he stepped out of his house with a towel to dowse a small fire nearby set off by a Molotov cocktail thrown by youths in the direction of the soldiers who had entered the camp. A video filmed the event. An IDF investigation as of November 2021 has yet to come to a conclusion.[4]
