Israeli escalation and demolition of homes in Tulkarm and its camps

  1. The Israeli aggression on the city of Tulkarm and its camp entered its 40th consecutive day, and the 27th day on the Nour Shams camp, amidst an escalation in the field, coinciding with intensive military reinforcements, raids, and the demolition of many homes.

Local sources said that the occupation forces sent military reinforcements towards the city and its two camps, and deployed their vehicles and infantry squads in the streets and neighborhoods, especially in the southern and western areas and the middle of the market, in addition to the surroundings and entrances to the Tulkarm and Nour Shams camps, in conjunction with the firing of bullets and sound and light bombs, and the sound of huge explosions.


She added that the occupation forces' heavy machinery and bulldozers continue to be present in front of homes and residential buildings on Nablus Street, which connects the Tulkarm and Nour Shams camps, where soldiers stop and search vehicles, check citizens' identities and detain them for interrogation.


In the details of the daily raids, local sources reported that the occupation forces raided several homes on Nablus Street belonging to the families of Al-Tabbal, Hussein Younis, and Al-Hamdallah, and forced them to evacuate them, after giving them until 10:00 a.m. to leave.


The occupation army also raided the Abu Muntaser Al-Assas building in the Aktaba suburb housing project, east of the city, and searched the residential apartments and destroyed their contents.


Around Tulkarm camp, the occupation forces continued to deploy their vehicles in its neighborhoods, concentrated in the airport, Abu al-Foul, and Dabbat Umm Jawhar neighborhoods in the Balawneh neighborhood, and prevented anyone from entering them, while firing live bullets at anyone who tried to do so.


Eyewitnesses confirmed that the occupation forces escalated their operations in the camp, from systematic destruction of every corner of it, such that it turned into an area empty of its residents, except for a few families in some neighborhoods at its entrances, where there was comprehensive destruction in the infrastructure, and the houses that were subjected to demolition, vandalism and burning, while the rest of them were turned into military barracks, in conjunction with extensive bombing operations inside the camp.


In Nour Shams camp, the occupation bulldozers demolished houses and residential buildings in the Al-Manshiya neighborhood, as part of a plan aimed at paving a new road to change the geographical features of the camp, after the occupation notified the demolition of 17 houses in this area.


It is noteworthy that the occupation bulldozers have demolished more than 11 houses in recent days as part of the same plan.


Nour Shams camp is witnessing a continuous escalation and a stifling siege, as the occupation forces are sending military reinforcements and continuing their raids and demolition operations on homes after blowing up their doors and forcing the residents to leave them. Some homes are also being turned into military barracks, in addition to the complete destruction of the infrastructure and property, including homes and shops, which were subjected to demolition, bombing, burning and looting.


The ongoing aggression on the city and its two camps resulted in the martyrdom of 13 citizens, including a child and two women, one of whom was eight months pregnant, in addition to the injury and arrest of dozens, and the forced displacement of more than 9,000 people from Nour Shams camp, and 12,000 people from Tulkarm camp.
