Today, Wednesday, Israeli occupation bulldozers continued to demolish homes in Tulkarm camp, as part of the escalation campaign targeting the camp for 23 consecutive days.

According to local sources, large forces of the occupation army, with their vehicles and bulldozers, completed their aggression on the houses in the camp, after they notified yesterday of the demolition of 14 houses under the pretext of opening a street extending from the agency area to the Balawneh neighborhood.

She added that the occupation gave the camp residents only two hours to evacuate their homes before demolishing them, as the citizens headed inside the camp amidst a state of shock and sadness at the scenes of destruction that befell it in general, and to the property in particular.

Painful scenes showed families rushing out, racing against time, carrying whatever belongings they could from their partially destroyed homes, while the occupation forces surrounded the area and deployed heavy infantry patrols between the alleys and inside some of the homes that they had turned into military barracks.

Since yesterday morning until today, the occupation forces have completely demolished seven houses, extending from the Balawneh, Shuhada, Al-Wakala and Al-Khidmat neighbourhoods, accompanied by the complete destruction of the infrastructure of water, electricity, sewage and communications networks.

The Popular Committee for Services in Tulkarm Camp said in a press release that the occupation continues to burn and destroy homes in the camp for the 24th consecutive day, and that 50 homes were completely destroyed, and that 90% of the camp’s residents were displaced after the occupation forced them to leave by force.

She pointed out that the occupation drew a map of the houses that it intends to demolish to pave new streets in the camp, and most of the houses adjacent to the demolition sites were damaged due to the nature of the adjacent construction, and that the occupation's decision to open a street in the middle of the camp will cause the demolition and damage of thousands of houses.

In this context, the occupation forces continued to deploy their foot and mobile patrols in the neighborhoods of Nour Shams camp, which has been under a tight siege for 11 days, specifically in the Manshiyya neighborhood, amidst raids on homes and turning them into military barracks, accompanied by extensive bombing operations inside the camp.

Infantry forces were also deployed in large numbers in the city’s neighborhoods, and military checkpoints were set up around the Younis roundabout in the northern neighborhood, the Abu Safiya junction in the eastern neighborhood, and on Nablus Street, which connects the Tulkarm and Nur Shams camps. Vehicles were stopped, searched, the identities of their passengers were checked, and young men were abused.

The occupation forces also continued to seize a number of houses in the eastern neighborhood of the city and turned them into military barracks and sniper locations, imposing a tight siege on them, preventing citizens from moving and leaving their homes, and subjecting them to interrogation and abuse, while seizing two houses on Nablus Street adjacent to Tulkarm camp, with its soldiers deployed around them.
