The Israeli occupation forces continued their aggression on the city of Tulkarm and its camp for the seventh consecutive day.

Last night, the occupation forces, accompanied by police dogs, raided citizens' homes in various neighborhoods of Tulkarm city and its suburbs, including the eastern neighborhood, the al-Tayah neighborhood, and the al-Rashid neighborhood in the Dhnaba suburb. They searched them, checked the identities of their residents, and subjected them to field interrogation, without any arrests being reported.

According to local sources, the occupation forces sent more military vehicles from the "Test'oz" camp west of Tulkarm, and from the Taybeh and Jabara checkpoints to the south, towards the city and its camp and imposed a tight siege on them, while continuing to besiege the Martyr Thabet Thabet Governmental Hospital and the Israa Specialized Hospital and obstructing the work of ambulances and medical crews.

She added that the city is witnessing a large deployment of infantry forces and snipers on the roofs of residential and commercial buildings that they have seized and turned into military barracks in the middle of the market and the western and eastern neighborhoods.

In Tulkarm camp, the occupation forces continue their siege, amidst a heavy deployment of occupation forces in all its neighborhoods and snipers on tall buildings inside and around it, raiding and searching homes and forcing their owners to leave them under threat of arms.

Local sources reported, quoting eyewitnesses from the camp, that the occupation forces have escalated the bombing of homes in the camp’s inner neighborhoods, and increased their pace with the arrival of a heavy bulldozer (D10), and began demolishing other homes and shops in the Al-Sawalmeh and Al-Hamam neighborhoods, leveling them to the ground.

She added that the occupation forces raided dozens of homes, destroyed their contents from the inside, and dug holes in their walls to use them in raiding adjacent homes, spreading fear and panic among their residents, not caring about the presence of children, the elderly and women, and forcing them to leave under threat of arms.

The occupation forces continue to seize tall buildings inside and around the camp, turning them into military barracks and sniper positions, while infantry units are widely deployed between homes and alleys. More families continue to be forcibly displaced from their homes, after being expelled by the occupation forces in various neighborhoods of the camp, and the occupation threatens them not to return to them.

The aggression caused complete destruction of the infrastructure and the interruption of basic services such as water, electricity, internet and communications, accompanied by a shortage of food, medical supplies, drinking water and baby milk.

Yesterday, Saturday, citizen Wahid Omar Wahid Madi (Sabbagh), 51 years old, was martyred due to his critical chest injury, after an occupation sniper shot him in the Qaqun neighborhood in the camp, bringing the number of martyrs during the ongoing aggression on the city and its camp to four.

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