The occupation forces continue their aggression on the city of Tulkarm and its camp for the 33rd consecutive day, and on the Nour Shams camp for the 20th day, amid military reinforcements, raids, and burning of homes.

Wafa Agency reported that the occupation forces sent military reinforcements to the city last night and towards the Tulkarm and Nour Shams camps, and patrolled the streets and alleys and positioned themselves along the Nablus Street linking the two camps, while they are still seizing residential buildings on the aforementioned street and turning them into military barracks and deploying snipers inside them.

The occupation continues to impose a tight siege on the Tulkarm and Nour Shams camps, preventing entry or exit from them, and deploying infantry squads inside the neighborhoods and alleys, while raiding homes, vandalizing them and destroying their contents, coinciding with its snipers firing live ammunition intensively in the Jabal al-Nasr and al-Salihin areas in Nour Shams camp, and burning the home of citizen Ahmed al-Abd al-Bata in Jabal al-Salihin, causing extensive damage to it.

During the ongoing aggression on the city and its two camps, the occupation forces caused great and complete destruction to the infrastructure of electricity, water, sewage and communications networks, which led to the interruption of basic services to the entire Tulkarm and Nour Shams camps, and exacerbated the suffering of the citizens who were still in their homes.

Military bulldozers also left behind unprecedented destruction in roads and residential neighborhoods, in addition to the complete and partial destruction of properties, including homes and shops. The latest was the complete demolition of 26 buildings in Tulkarm camp, causing severe damage to the surrounding buildings and facilities, and the occupation notifying of its intention to demolish 11 homes in Nour Shams camp in the coming days, under the pretext of paving roads that cut through several neighborhoods.

The ongoing aggression has also led to the displacement of approximately 12,000 citizens from Tulkarm camp and more than 5,000 citizens from Nour Shams camp, whom the occupation forces have forced and are still forcing others to leave their homes by force and under threat of arms, while 13 citizens were martyred, including a child and two women, one of whom is eight months pregnant.

Amidst the continued tight siege on the camps, the appeals of the citizens who are still in their homes and living in difficult and harsh conditions continue, to secure the arrival of their basic needs of food, water, medicine and baby milk, and to work on repairing the water and electricity networks, at a time when the occupation is obstructing and preventing the work of relief crews while they are trying to deliver the basic necessary materials to them.

In the same context, the occupation forces continue to close the gate of the Jabara checkpoint at the southern entrance to the city of Tulkarm for the 21st consecutive day, isolating the city from the villages and towns of Al-Kafriyat and the rest of the West Bank governorates.
