Israeli occupation continues its aggression on the city of Tulkarm and its two camps for the 51st day.

The Israeli occupation forces continue their aggression on the city of Tulkarm and its camp for the 51st consecutive day, and on the Nour Shams camp for the 38th day, amid military reinforcements, home demolitions, and the forced displacement of residents.


According to local sources, occupation forces continued last night to send military reinforcements, including heavy vehicles and bulldozers, toward the city and its two camps. Meanwhile, infantry units were deployed on the main streets, restricting the movement of vehicles and harassing civilians. They also fired sound bombs to terrorize residents.


This morning, Israeli bulldozers demolished homes and residential buildings in the Al-Gharifat area of the Al-Manshiya neighborhood in Nour Shams refugee camp. The demolition was part of a plan to build roads inside the camp and alter its geographic features, especially after residents were forcibly evacuated.


In the same context, local sources reported that occupation forces forced residents this morning to evacuate their homes in the Jabal al-Salihin neighborhood of Nour Shams camp, which has been subjected to a tight siege, accompanied by widespread raids and vandalism of homes, and threats to force residents to evacuate. The camp has become almost empty of its residents, after more than 12,000 refugees were displaced from it.


Meanwhile, Tulkarm camp has witnessed a massive exodus of the remaining residents of its neighborhoods on the outskirts, including Qaqun, Abu al-Ful, and Marbat Hanoun, after the occupation forced them to leave through threats and intimidation. Local sources reported that 200 families were displaced from their homes in the past two days due to the escalation of the occupation's aggression and its threats to residents to leave their homes and not return to them.


Occupation soldiers are also deployed extensively throughout all neighborhoods, raiding empty homes and turning them into military barracks and sniper positions. They are also raiding shops, businesses, and mosques, vandalizing their contents and seizing some of them.


Israeli occupation forces continue to seize several homes on Nablus Street, particularly those overlooking Tulkarm refugee camp, where their vehicles are positioned in the vicinity, amid strict measures restricting the movement of vehicles and civilians.


These attacks come amid the ongoing escalation by Israeli occupation forces in the city of Tulkarm and its two camps, which has resulted in the deaths of 13 civilians, including a child and two women, one of whom was eight months pregnant. Dozens more have been injured and arrested, and more than 24,000 people have been forcibly displaced from the two camps.


The aggression also caused widespread destruction to the infrastructure, including water, electricity, sewage, and communications networks, as well as homes, shops, and vehicles, which were completely and partially demolished, burned, vandalized, looted, and seized. The entrances and alleys of the camps were also closed off with earth mounds.
