The occupation forces bombed a building under construction and surrounded it at the entrance to the Aktaba suburb, east of Tulkarm.

Media sources reported that the occupation targeted the building more than once with bullets and “Energa” shells, coinciding with its continued aggression against the city and Nour Shams camp.

The occupation forces fired light bombs and heavy bullets into the sky of the camp, coinciding with the continuation of their second aggression in two days.

Tonight, the occupation forces stormed the city of Tulkarm and besieged Nour Shams camp, east of the city.

Local sources reported that a large military force from the occupation army stormed the city from its western axis, towards Khadoori Street, Al-Alimi Roundabout, and Al-Sikka Street, accompanied by bulldozers, simultaneously with reconnaissance aircraft flying over Tulkarm and its camps, at a low altitude.

The occupation forces raided a number of citizens’ homes in the Al-Manshiya, Jabal Al-Nasr, and Jabal Al-Salehin areas, searched them, detained their owners in one room, and deployed snipers on their roofs, while they deployed a group of snipers in the bush area opposite the camp, and the high-rise buildings in its vicinity.

The occupation vehicles bulldozed the street adjacent to the entrance to the camp, as well as the Al-Manshiya and Al-Damj neighborhoods, destroying the infrastructure. They also pursued ambulances present in the camp and forced them to leave it at gunpoint.
