Israeli occupation forces demand that residents of Nour Shams camp evacuate amidst escalation in the field
Today, Wednesday, the Israeli occupation forces demanded that the residents of Nour Shams camp evacuate immediately, through the camp mosque’s loudspeakers, amidst a field escalation.
Eyewitnesses reported that the occupation forces stormed the Al-Ayada neighborhood mosque in the camp, and called on residents via loudspeakers to leave the camp, which has been under attack for four days.
The occupation forces deployed their vehicles and infantry patrols at the entrances and alleys of the camp, firing live bullets and sound bombs intensively to spread fear and panic among the residents.
Since the first day of the occupation's aggression, the camp has witnessed a wave of forced mass displacement under the pressure of random gunfire, coinciding with the sounds of explosions heard every now and then.
Displaced people described the camp’s conditions as very difficult and miserable. There are demolished houses and shops, bulldozed streets, and occupation soldiers raiding houses in a barbaric manner, breaking their contents from the inside, assaulting young men, and expelling the elderly without allowing them to take their basic needs, especially clothes, and seizing their mobile phones.
The media office of the Nour Shams Camp Services Committee indicated that the number of displaced persons exceeded thousands of women, children, the elderly and the sick.
It is noteworthy that the occupation's aggression on the city of Tulkarm and its two camps, Tulkarm and Nour Shams, for the 17th consecutive day, left 8 martyrs, including three from Nour Shams camp, amid a military escalation accompanied by widespread destruction of infrastructure and property, arrests, and forced displacement that affected thousands of residents of the two camps.
The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) explained that the Israeli operations in the occupied West Bank resulted in the forced displacement of 40,000 refugees from the Jenin, Tulkarm, Nur Shams, and Fara'a camps.
