The Israeli aggression on the city of Tulkarm and its two camps continues for the 53rd consecutive day.

The Israeli occupation forces continued their aggression on the city of Tulkarm and its camp on Thursday for the 53rd consecutive day, while the assault on the Nur Shams camp entered its 40th day amid ongoing escalation, including raids, home demolitions, and the destruction of infrastructure.


Israeli bulldozers continued their demolition of several homes in the Manshiyya neighborhood of Nour Shams camp. The camp's Popular Services Committee stated that the occupation forces have destroyed 66 homes since the start of the aggression, while local sources confirmed that six residential buildings containing dozens of apartments were demolished yesterday.


The houses are owned by the families: Shihab, Al-Alameh, Al-Sa'aydeh, Abu Sha'la, Abu Abed, Al-Sayes, Al-Ghannam, Masharqa, Sheikh Youssef, and Al-Dabour.


Eyewitnesses confirmed that the camp is being subjected to daily bulldozing and demolition operations targeting homes and infrastructure, resulting in the complete destruction of its landmarks and the forced displacement of its residents, in an attempt to obliterate its identity and alter its geography.


In a related development, Nur Shams camp witnessed raids and house searches, specifically in the Jabali, al-Nasr, and al-Salihin neighborhoods. Israeli occupation forces also converted the Abu Diya family home into a military barracks in the Jabal al-Nasr area, as part of a recurring pattern of practices aimed at imposing greater control over the area.


In Tulkarm camp, the occupation forces fired flares last night over Abu al-Foul neighborhood, while the occupation military vehicles were deployed in its neighborhoods and around the houses, destroying everything in their path. Meanwhile, infantry units were stationed at the northern entrance to the camp, which the occupation bulldozers closed with rubble and earth mounds, while the occupation soldiers raided homes, shops and institutions, vandalizing and stealing their belongings.


The Al-Hadaida and Al-Matar neighborhoods also witnessed a large-scale forced displacement of citizens, along with the Qaqun, Abu Al-Foul, and Maraba'a Hanoun neighborhoods. Meanwhile, occupation forces raided homes in the Al-Raba'a neighborhood, conducting extensive searches inside them, and subjecting residents to interrogation. Meanwhile, the camp has become almost empty of its residents, following the displacement of more than 12,000 refugees.


Meanwhile, the occupation forces dispatched military reinforcements, including armored vehicles, to the city, its two camps, and its suburbs. Meanwhile, infantry units were deployed on the main streets, restricting the movement of vehicles and harassing civilians. They also fired sound bombs to terrorize the population.


Meanwhile, Israeli occupation forces continue to seize several homes on Nablus Street, specifically in the area adjacent to Tulkarm refugee camp. Their vehicles and bulldozers are positioned in the vicinity, amid strict measures restricting the movement of vehicles and civilians.


This morning, the occupation forces arrested Bashir Mahmoud Awfi, a citizen, after raiding a housing unit in the Aktaba suburb, east of the city.


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 Tulkarm and Nur Shams 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 stolen. The entrances and alleys of the camps were also closed off with earth mounds.
