Israeli occupation forces continued the aggression on the city of Tulkarm and its camp for the 23rd consecutive day, and on Nour Shams camp for the 10th day, amidst escalation of the aggression and additional destruction of streets and infrastructure, demolition, burning and bombing of homes.
According to Palestinian news agency Wafa, after midnight, the occupation forces deliberately caused huge explosions accompanied by live ammunition inside Nour Shams camp, the sound of which was heard throughout the city and its suburbs, which caused fires to break out around Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq Mosque in the camp square.
Meanwhile, the occupation forces continued the stifling siege of Nour Shams camp, which included additional destruction of the infrastructure completely, extensive raids on homes and vandalism of their contents, and the demolition and bulldozing of other homes in the neighborhoods of Al-Manshiya, Al-Jami, Al-Joura, Al-Shuhada, and Al-Madaris, and closing the entrances to homes and shops with barriers and rubble.
In Tulkarm camp, the occupation forces fired flares in the sky of the camp, coinciding with the sound of heavy gunfire, amidst the dispatch of additional military reinforcements to it, at a time when it is seeing widespread destruction of infrastructure and property and a complete interruption of electricity, water and communications networks.
Additionally, the occupation forces deployed their vehicles and infantry soldiers late last night in the streets and neighborhoods of Tulkarm city, while imposing a siege and curfew on the residents of the eastern neighborhood, specifically in the area of the Muqata’a Street until Abu Safiya intersection and the municipal slaughterhouse.
The occupation bulldozers razed the streets in the eastern neighborhood, causing great damage to the infrastructure, trees, and vehicles, and closed some entrances with dirt mounds.
The Zioniust forces also raided homes in the Dhnaba suburb east of Tulkarm, searched them, vandalized their contents, and interrogated their residents.
The occupation forces continue to seize two homes on Nablus Street, which connects Tulkarm and Nour Shams camps, and turned them into military outposts, amid the deployment of foot patrols around them.
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 11th consecutive day, isolating the city from the villages and towns of Al-Kafriyat, and the rest of the West Bank governorates.
