The Israeli occupation continues its aggression against the city of Tulkarm and its camp for the 54th consecutive day, and for the 41st day against the Nur Shams camp, as part of the ongoing escalation of raids and incursions into homes, seizing them, and converting them into military barracks after forcing their residents to leave.

At dawn on Friday, the occupation forces stormed the suburbs of Dhnaba, Al-Azb and Iktaba in Tulkarm, raided and searched several homes while interrogating their residents on the spot. They arrested three young men: Abdul Sufyan Taha, Maher Alariyeh from Iktaba, and Nour Samara from Dhnaba. They also detained the two brothers Hamza and Mahmoud Al-Qudsi after raiding their homes in the northern neighborhood of the city and interrogating them for several hours.

Local sources said that last night, occupation forces raided three residential buildings in the traffic circle area in the northern neighborhood of Tulkarm, adjacent to Nablus Street. The buildings were Al-Firdaws, Al-Susana, and Al-Hamdallah. The forces forced the residents to evacuate their apartments, giving them two hours to leave, and turned the buildings into military barracks.

Video clips documented the moments when residents—children, women, and men—were forced to leave their homes, carrying their belongings and personal items, in a scene that reflects the extent of the suffering they are facing as a result of these repressive measures.

The occupation forces also increased their military presence on Nablus Street, which connects the Tulkarm and Nur Shams refugee camps, and around the buildings they have seized, with their vehicles and bulldozers positioned in the area, amid measures restricting the movement of vehicles and civilians.

Israeli occupation forces continued their military escalation in Tulkarm refugee camp, storming the airport and al-Hadaida neighborhoods and raiding residents' homes before forcibly forcing the remaining residents to leave, transforming the areas into military sites and sniper barracks.

These measures coincided with the widespread deployment of infantry units throughout the camp, where soldiers stormed and seized empty homes, amidst the heavy firing of sound bombs to intimidate residents. This increased tension and anxiety among residents, who already live under the weight of these ongoing repressive practices.

Over the past few days, Tulkarm camp has witnessed a massive exodus of the remaining residents of its outlying neighborhoods, including Qaqun, Abu al-Ful, Marbat Hanun, al-Hadaida, and al-Matar, after the occupation forces forced them to leave through threats and intimidation. The camp has become almost empty of its residents, with more than 12,000 refugees displaced.

Meanwhile, the occupation forces have sent military reinforcements to the Nur Shams refugee camp, which is under a total siege. Meanwhile, bulldozers have been demolishing homes and residential buildings in the Manshiyya neighborhood and destroying its infrastructure, under the pretext of constructing roads that cut through its neighborhoods. This has led to 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, Nour Shams camp witnessed raids and house searches, particularly in the Jabal al-Nasr and al-Salihin neighborhoods, with several homes being converted into military barracks as part of a recurring pattern of efforts to impose greater control over the area.

The occupation forces sent new military reinforcements to the city, where their vehicles patrolled its streets and neighborhoods, obstructing 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 Tulkarm and Nur Shams camps.

The aggression also caused widespread destruction to the infrastructure, including homes, shops, and vehicles, which were subjected to total and partial demolition, burning, vandalism, looting, and theft. The entrances and alleys of the camps were also closed off with earth mounds.
