The Israeli occupation forces continue their extensive aggression on the city of Tulkarm and its two camps, Tulkarm and Nour Shams, for the 15th consecutive day, amid military escalation and the imposition of a tight siege that exacerbates the suffering of the residents.

The occupation forces sent more military reinforcements, while carrying out extensive house raids, firing live ammunition, and hearing the sounds of huge explosions, especially in Nour Shams camp, in addition to destroying the infrastructure and citizens’ property.

The occupation forces are still imposing a tight siege on Nour Shams camp, preventing citizens from leaving it, while raiding homes in the neighborhoods of Jabal al-Nasr, Jabal al-Salihin, and al-Manshiya, turning them into military barracks, and detaining their residents in difficult conditions, including women and children, while seizing residential buildings in areas in the suburbs of Dhnaba and Iktaba adjacent to the camp and turning them into military barracks.

The occupation bulldozers also caused extensive damage to the infrastructure on Nablus Street, which connects Nour Shams camp to the town of Anabta, passing through Bal’a roundabout east of the governorate, in conjunction with the bulldozing and extensive destruction of the infrastructure at the entrances to Nour Shams camp and in its neighborhoods, specifically the neighborhoods of Al-Manshiya, Al-Qalansawe and Al-Maslakh, and the destruction of large parts of homes and shops.

The occupation forces are still imposing their siege on Tulkarm camp, and are firing heavy and random bullets, seizing houses and buildings in all its neighborhoods, and deploying infantry soldiers in them. They have also continued to seize a number of houses in its vicinity and turn them into military barracks and sniper locations.

The daily suffering of the citizens who are still in their homes on the outskirts of the camp is exacerbated by the tight siege and the accompanying interruption of electricity, water, communications and the Internet due to the complete destruction of the infrastructure, in addition to the severe shortage of food, drinking water and medicines, especially for the elderly who suffer from chronic diseases.

In Tulkarm city, the occupation soldiers deployed in the city's neighborhoods, specifically the eastern, southern and northern ones, and raided a number of homes, and seized surveillance camera recordings amidst tightening the siege on the eastern neighborhood, especially in the Muqata'a Street area, and preventing the movement of residents who issued appeals to provide their basic needs.

The occupation forces also continued their siege of the Martyr Thabet Thabet Governmental Hospital, deploying their vehicles and infantry soldiers at its entrances, obstructing the work of ambulances and medical crews, and subjecting anyone who wanted to enter the hospital to search and interrogation.

Last night, the young man, Iyas Adli Fakhri Al-Akhras (20 years old), was killed in Nour Shams camp, bringing the number of dead in the camp since the aggression on it yesterday to three. Earlier, the two citizens, Sundus Jamal Muhammad Shalabi (23 years old) and her fetus, and Rahaf Fuad Abdullah Al-Ashqar (21 years old), were killed, and seven others were injured, bringing the number of dead in Tulkarm during this aggression to eight.

In the same context, the occupation forces continued for the third day to close the Jabara Bridge at the southern entrance to the city of Tulkarm, which connects the city to the villages of Al-Kafriyat and the governorates of the West Bank.
