Israeli occupation forces continue their aggression on the city of Tulkarm and its camp for the 46th consecutive day, and on the Nour Shams camp for the 33rd day, amid a military escalation that includes massive reinforcements, home demolitions, and the conversion of residential buildings into military barracks.
Local sources reported that the occupation forces sent military reinforcements towards the city and its two camps, and deployed infantry units in and around the camps' neighborhoods, amidst the firing of live ammunition and sound bombs to terrorize residents.
She added that the occupation forces, with their heavy machinery and bulldozers, have reinforced their military presence in front of the homes they have seized on Nablus Street, which connects the Tulkarm and Nur Shams refugee camps, turning them into military barracks and setting up mobile checkpoints to restrict the movement of citizens.
Yesterday, the occupation army seized Khrioush buildings No. 4 and No. 5, located behind the traffic circle on Nablus Street, after forcing their residents to leave. The army turned them into barracks, and Israeli trucks were seen bringing water tanks to these buildings.
In a related development, Israeli bulldozers demolished more homes and buildings in the Manshiyya neighborhood of Nour Shams refugee camp, completing a plan to demolish dozens of homes under the pretext of paving a road and changing the camp's geographical features. The bulldozers also bulldozed another stretch of Nablus Street adjacent to the camp's entrance, destroying infrastructure and citizens' property.
Israeli occupation forces forcibly forced a number of families to leave their homes after raiding the Jabal al-Nasr neighborhood in Nour Shams refugee camp, firing heavy gunfire to terrorize residents and transforming the area into military barracks.
Meanwhile, infantry units deployed in the alleys of Tulkarm camp, firing heavily, chasing citizens as they went to inspect their homes in the camp and take their necessities. They threatened to arrest and shoot anyone who tried to enter, whether men or women. They also robbed shops after demolishing their doors and vandalizing their contents.
The occupation forces set up flying checkpoints at various times during their ongoing aggression in several locations, neighborhoods, and entrances to the city, especially on Nablus Street, the employee housing neighborhood in the Aktaba suburb to the east, Shuweika Street to the north, and the southern entrance to the city. They stop vehicles, search them, check the identities of their passengers, and subject them to interrogation and abuse.
The ongoing aggression on the city and the camps resulted in the death of 13 citizens, including a child and two women, one of whom was eight months pregnant. Dozens were also injured and arrested, and more than 12,000 people were forcibly displaced from Nour Shams camp and another 12,000 from Tulkarm camp. This was accompanied by widespread destruction of the infrastructure, homes and shops, which were subjected to total and partial demolition, burning, vandalism and theft.
