Today, Sunday, the Israeli occupation bulldozers continued to demolish homes in the Nour Shams camp, east of Tulkarm city, as part of the escalation campaign targeting it for 22 consecutive days.

The demolition continued, in implementation of the occupation’s notice to demolish 11 homes, under the pretext of paving a road starting from the camp square towards the Al-Manshiya neighborhood, and belonging to the families of Yousef, Jabali, Mar’i, Abu Shalabiya, Irani, Shihab, Younis, and Ghanem.

Yesterday, the occupation bulldozers began the demolition process that included a number of homes and residential buildings, starting from the vicinity of Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq Mosque in the camp square.

The head of the Popular Committee for Services in Nour Shams Camp, Nihad Al-Shawish, told WAFA that the occupation is imposing a siege on the camp, which is being subjected to an unprecedented aggression and large-scale forced displacement, amid threats to the residents to evacuate their homes, using live bullets to terrorize them and force them to leave, while wreaking havoc and destruction in homes, streets, and public and private facilities.

He added that the occupation bulldozers continue for the second day to implement the plan to demolish 11 residential buildings that include homes inhabited by dozens of families, and the accompanying destruction and demolition of everything surrounding the targeted homes, due to the nature of the buildings inside the camp that are adjacent to each other, noting that the number of homes that were completely or partially demolished has not been counted due to the ongoing aggression and siege imposed on the camp and its surroundings.

Al-Shawish explained that the occupation did not stop at demolishing, but rather deliberately burned homes and facilities, in addition to causing complete destruction to the infrastructure, including electricity, water, sewage, and communications networks, noting that the camp’s situation is catastrophic and has become a destroyed and afflicted area.

He pointed out that the camp has witnessed a large displacement movement since the beginning of the occupation's aggression against it, and the number of displaced persons has risen to approximately 9,000, out of a total population of 13,500, who were forcibly removed and at gunpoint from their homes in most of the camp's neighborhoods, which have become empty of their residents, namely Al-Manshiya, Jabal Al-Nasr, Al-Salihin, Al-Maslakh and the center of the camp, and they headed to shelters and the homes of their relatives in the city, its suburbs and its villages.

Al-Shawish said: Those who remain are the residents of the Al-Mahjar neighborhood who live in difficult conditions, in light of the shortage of basic supplies such as food, water, medicine, and baby milk, and the accompanying destruction of the infrastructure, accompanied by the tight siege imposed by the occupation, which prevents entry into and exit from the camp, and fires heavily at everything that moves.
