Israeli occupation forces citizens to leave their homes in Nour Shams camp
- This evening, Friday, the Israeli occupation forces expelled citizens from their homes in the Nour Shams camp, east of Tulkarm, in light of the tight siege imposed on it for 20 consecutive days.
Eyewitnesses told local sources that the occupation continued its forced displacement operations against the camp’s residents, specifically the Jabal al-Nasr neighborhood, and forced dozens of them to leave their homes immediately, under threat of arms, amid heavy gunfire as the citizens left to terrorize and intimidate them.
They added that the occupation forces raided the houses in the camp's neighborhoods, and destroyed their contents, before converting some of them into military barracks and using them as sniper and surveillance sites.
The occupation forces burned some houses in Al-Manshiya neighborhood, amidst great and complete destruction of the infrastructure, and the destruction of roads and public and private property.
Since the first day of the Israeli aggression, the camp has witnessed a large displacement movement among its residents, including women, children, the elderly and the sick, concentrated in the neighborhoods of Al-Manshiya, Al-Maslakh, Jabal Al-Nasr and Jabal Al-Salihin, where their number exceeded 5,500 displaced persons who headed to shelters and the homes of their relatives in the city, its suburbs and its countryside.
A few days ago, the occupation forces notified the demolition of 11 houses in Nour Shams camp in the coming days, under the pretext of paving a road starting from the camp square towards Al-Manshiya neighborhood.
This escalation comes within the framework of the ongoing aggression on the city and its two camps, Tulkarm and Nour Shams, for the 33rd consecutive day, amidst large military reinforcements of vehicles, bulldozers and infantry squads, which are imposing a siege on the two camps, and are stationed on Nablus Street, while seizing a number of residential buildings and turning them into military barracks.
