Israeli occupation continues its aggression on Tulkarm and its two camps: 3 houses were blown up and another was burned amid forced displacement
Today, Tuesday, the Israeli occupation forces blew up three houses in Nour Shams camp, and burned another in Tulkarm camp, as their aggression against Tulkarm city and its two camps continues, amidst a field escalation that includes raiding homes and forcing their residents to leave them.
The occupation forces prevented ambulance crews from entering Nour Shams camp to respond to citizens’ appeals for help to leave, especially the elderly, the sick and the disabled, and forced them to stay at a distance.
On the third day of the aggression, Nour Shams camp witnessed a new wave of mass displacement of dozens of families by force, under threat and intimidation from the occupation, amidst the firing of live ammunition and the sound of explosions heard from time to time.
The displaced people from the camp were distributed to different places, according to what the occupation imposed on them, as families headed east towards the towns of Anabta and Kafr al-Labad, and others towards the suburbs of Dhnaba, Iktaba and the city, and the same to the quarry area adjacent to the camp, while the occupation forces arrested the citizen Mamoun Abdul Asmar after raiding his home in the camp.
The occupation bulldozers continued to bulldoze and destroy the infrastructure and properties in the various neighborhoods of the camp, starting from Jabal al-Nasr, al-Salihin, al-Manshiya, and al-Maslakh, reaching the internal neighborhoods, in addition to bulldozing Nablus Street along the entire length of the camp entrances and completely destroying it.
In Tulkarm camp, the occupation forces intensified their military presence and deployed infantry squads inside the camp’s alleys and empty houses, turning them into military barracks, amid heavy live fire. They also burned down a house belonging to the Al-Awfi family in the Hanoun Square neighborhood.
The occupation forces continued to seize additional homes and residential buildings around the camp, specifically in the northern and eastern neighborhoods, and turned them into military barracks and sniper positions. They also pursued citizens who tried to reach their homes in the Shuhada neighborhood, and shot them.
In the same context, the occupation forces were deployed throughout the day in the streets of Tulkarm city, specifically in the street of the Martyr Thabet Thabet Governmental Hospital, the Abu Safiya intersection in the eastern neighborhood and the vegetable market, and obstructed the movement of citizens and vehicles, stopped them, searched them, checked their ID cards, and severely beat a young man.
The occupation soldiers also raided shops and commercial complexes on Hospital Street, and investigated their owners on the ground.
