The Palestinian Red Crescent reported that 9 people were injured by shrapnel as a result of the Israeli occupation army’s drone bombing of a house in Tulkarm camp, while the occupation forces continue to storm cities and towns of the occupied West Bank.

The Israeli forces again stormed the city of Tulkarm, and deployed in its various streets that connected it to the vicinity of the Tulkarm camp, which it besieged from all its entrances. They deployed their snipers on the roofs of the tall buildings surrounding it, and sent in additional reinforcements and military bulldozers from the western axis of the city, coinciding with the flight of reconnaissance planes in the airspace of the city and the camp.

This raid comes hours after a previous raid during which the occupation forces killed three Palestinians with direct bullets to the head, and arrested a fourth, in the Aktaba suburb, east of Tulkarm, which raised the number of martyrs in the West Bank to 340 since the seventh of last October.

Meanwhile, local sources said that sounds of explosions and exchanges of gunfire are heard in Tulkarm camp from time to time.

For its part, the Tulkarm Battalion - affiliated with the Al-Quds Brigades - said that its fighters clashed with the occupation forces in Tulkarm, which led to confirmed casualties and the withdrawal of a number of vehicles from service that stormed the Tulkarm and Nur Shams camps.

The battalion added that it thwarted a number of attempts to penetrate deep into the Tulkarm camp, and damaged a number of Israeli vehicles during the clashes.

Eight Palestinians were also injured by Israeli army gunfire after they stormed the old Askar camp near the city of Nablus from several directions.

Israeli army forces initially prevented Red Crescent crews from entering the camp, before ambulance crews were later able to reach the injured.
