Israeli occupation continues its aggression on the West Bank and intends to send tanks
The Israeli occupation army continues its military aggression on the occupied West Bank, for the second month in a row, while the occupation forces continued their raids on towns and camps in the West Bank as part of their ongoing military operations, especially in the governorates of Tulkarm and Jenin.
As the military operation "Iron Wall" enters its 33rd day on Sunday in the city of Jenin and its camp, the Israeli occupation army intends to deploy tanks in the battles in the northern West Bank, for the first time since Operation "Defensive Shield" in 2002, according to what Israeli Channel 14 reported.
Channel 14 Israel quoted an unnamed informed Israeli security source as saying that the deployment of tanks in the northern West Bank aims to enhance military operations in the region, adding that the decision came "after pressure from the political leadership."
Regarding the date of the actual use of tanks, the security source explained that they "may enter the northern West Bank in the near future if necessary, as part of expanding the scope of military operations," without mentioning a specific time.
In Tulkarm, the Israeli occupation forces continue their aggression on the city of Tulkarm and its camp for the 28th consecutive day, and on the Nour Shams camp for the 15th day, amid military reinforcements, coinciding with raids on homes and turning them into military barracks.
Local sources reported that the occupation forces, in the late hours of last night, sent military reinforcements of heavy machinery and bulldozers to the city of Tulkarm from the direction of the "Nitzani Oz" military checkpoint west of the city, and headed towards Nablus Street opposite the northern entrance to Tulkarm camp.
She added that the occupation forces have intensified their military presence along Nablus Street, which connects the Tulkarm and Nour Shams camps, and around the buildings they are seizing, while imposing a tight siege on them.
The infantry soldiers were deployed in large numbers around Tulkarm camp and its inner neighborhoods, including the agency neighborhood towards the airport neighborhood. They raided the empty houses and destroyed their contents. They re-seized a number of them and turned them into military barracks and deployed snipers inside them, amidst the sounds of intense live ammunition being heard.
