A young man was killed today, Thursday, by Israeli soldiers, in the ongoing aggression against the city of Tulkarm and its two camps for the second day in a row, where he blew up a house, burned another, and severely beat a number of citizens, amid widespread destruction of the infrastructure.
Local sources reported that Israeli forces blew up the house of citizen Omar Hussein Amara in the schools neighborhood in Tulkarm camp, after forcing its residents to leave it, which led to its complete damage and its ignition, and the homes adjacent to it were damaged.
Thabet Thabet Governmental Hospital announced thedeath of the young man, Muhammad Faisal Dawwas Abu Awad (28 years old), after he was hit by live bullets in the abdomen, in Nour Shams camp, east of Tulkarm, which raises the death toll in the city since yesterday to 6.
The raids also affected shops and public facilities, including Al-Salam Mosque, which was stormed and vandalized, and the Abu Ghazala family home in the Al-Akasha neighborhood in the camp, which was burned.
Hundreds of citizens as young as 16 years old were arrested by the occupation forces, who took them to field investigation centers in homes inside and outside the camp.
A number of citizens who were later released told our correspondent that the occupation soldiers assaulted a large number of them with severe beatings, abuse, and threats. They were also detained for long hours, transferred from one place to another, and then released in distant places, specifically at crossings and military checkpoints.
