The Israeli occupation forces continued, on Saturday evening, to blow up and demolish more homes in Tulkarm camp, as part of their ongoing aggression against it and the city for the sixth consecutive day.

According to local sources, the occupation forces escalated their bombing of houses today in the inner neighborhoods of the camp, and increased their pace with the arrival of a heavy bulldozer (D10), and also demolished other houses and several shops in the neighborhoods of Al-Sawalma and Al-Hamam, razing them to the ground.

She added that the occupation forces raided dozens of homes, destroyed their contents, and made holes in their walls to storm the adjacent homes, spreading fear and panic among their residents, especially children, the elderly and women, and forced them to leave under threat of arms.

The occupation forces also continued to seize tall buildings inside and around the camp, turning them into military barracks and sniper positions, coinciding with the widespread deployment of infantry units among the houses and alleys.

Today, citizen Wahid Omar Wahid Madi "Sabbagh" (51 years old) was martyred as a result of his critical injury by an occupation sniper's bullet to the chest in the Qaqun neighborhood in the camp.

Local sources told WAFA that Sabbagh was injured when the door of his house was opened, and he fell to the ground and was left bleeding for about an hour and a half, because the occupation prevented Red Crescent ambulance crews from reaching him.

Today, more families continue to be forcibly displaced from their homes in various neighborhoods of the camp, after the occupation forces forced them to leave, in light of the worsening difficult humanitarian conditions caused by the ongoing aggression on the camp, which caused the complete destruction of the infrastructure and the interruption of basic services such as water, electricity, internet and communications, accompanied by a severe shortage of food, medical supplies, drinking water and baby milk.

The occupation forces arrested a number of citizens from the camp and the neighbouring suburb of Dhnaba, including: Muhammad Hadaydeh, Muhammad Jaluli, Adham Qawzah, Hamoudi Turkman, and Ayman Qawzah.

In Tulkarm, the occupation forces are still besieging the Martyr Thabet Thabet Governmental Hospital and the Israa Specialized Hospital, seizing the surrounding buildings, obstructing the work of ambulances and medical crews, and continuing to seize commercial and residential buildings in the city center and the western and eastern neighborhoods, turning them into military barracks and sniper locations.

The occupation soldiers are deployed on foot in various neighborhoods of the city, raiding citizens’ homes, searching between the houses and alleys, stopping vehicles and citizens, checking their identities, and abusing them, as happened with one of the citizens in the eastern neighborhood of the city earlier today.

In light of the ongoing storming of the city of Tulkarm and its camp, the Education Directorate announced that the second semester will be converted to electronic attendance for the city and suburbs tomorrow, Sunday, while the rest of the governorate’s schools will have in-person attendance. The decision includes private schools and kindergartens.
