The Israeli aggression on Tulkarm city and its camp entered its 25th consecutive day, and the 12th day on Nour Shams camp, amid military reinforcements accompanied by the demolition and burning of homes.
According to Palestinian sources, the occupation forces sent military reinforcements towards the city and its camps, and deployed infantry soldiers in the streets and neighborhoods, specifically the eastern and northern ones, and the surroundings and entrances to Tulkarm and Nour Shams camps, while firing live ammunition, sound bombs, light bombs and smoke bombs, accompanied by the sounds of huge explosions.
Additionally, infantry forces supported by military vehicles were deployed in large numbers in the city’s neighborhoods, as barriers were set up around Al-Younis roundabout in the northern neighborhood, and Abu Safiya junction in the eastern neighborhood, and on Nablus Street connecting Tulkarm and Nour Shams camps, and stopped vehicles, searched them, checked the IDs of their passengers, and abused the young men among them.
The occupation forces continue to seize a number of houses in the eastern neighborhood of the city, specifically the Abu Safiya junction area and Al-Muqata’a Street, turning them into military outposts and sniper locations, and tightening the noose on its residents and preventing their movement and exit from their homes, while seizing two houses on Nablus Street adjacent to Tulkarm camp, amidst the deployment of its soldiers in their surroundings.
The occupation forces detained a local resident at dawn today after raiding his house in the southern neighborhood of the city.
In Tulkarm camp, the occupation forces continued to demolish houses and level them to the ground as part of the escalation campaign targeting the camp, as part of an occupation plan to demolish 14 houses under the pretext of opening a street extending from the agency area to the Balawneh neighborhood, passing through Al-Sawalmeh, Al-Shuhada, and Al-Khidmat neighborhoods.
The occupation forces also burned other houses inside the camp, as smoke was seen rising from them, while most of the houses adjacent to the demolition and burning sites were damaged due to the nature of the adjacent construction, which threatens to demolish and damage thousands of other houses, in addition to the complete destruction of the infrastructure of water, electricity, sewage and communications networks.
The Popular Committee for Tulkarm Camp Services indicated that 50 houses were completely destroyed, and that 90% of the camp’s residents were displaced from the camp after the occupation forced them to leave by force.
Painful scenes showed families rushing out in a hurry, racing against time, carrying whatever they could of their belongings from inside their partially destroyed homes, while the occupation forces surrounded the area and deployed infantry patrols heavily between the alleys, and inside some of the homes that they had turned into military outposts.
Israeli occupation forces continued to deploy their foot and mobile patrols in the neighborhoods of Nour Shams camp, which is seeing a tight siege and the firing of flash bombs and live bullets intensively, amid raids on homes and turning them into military outposts, accompanied by extensive bombing operations inside the camp, especially in the Manshiya neighborhood.
At the same time, the occupation forces continue to close the gate of the Jabara checkpoint at the southern entrance to the city of Tulkarm for the 13th consecutive day, isolating the city from the villages and towns of Kafriyat, and the rest of the West Bank governorates.
