The Israeli aggression on the city of Tulkarm and its camp has entered its 60th day, and on the 47th day on the Nur Shams camp, amid ongoing military escalation, massive reinforcements, and forced displacement of residents.
According to local sources, occupation forces deployed large reinforcements of vehicles and bulldozers to the Tulkarm and Nur Shams refugee camps, deployed across several neighborhoods, and imposed strict restrictions on the movement of citizens and vehicles.
In Tulkarm refugee camp, occupation forces deployed in the airport neighborhood and broke down the doors of several homes, amid extensive searches. This coincided with the continued displacement of residents of the al-Hadaida and al-Raba'a neighborhoods, who were expelled from their homes by occupation forces through threats and intimidation.
Tulkarm camp has recently witnessed a wave of displacement of residents from neighborhoods on the outskirts of the camp, amid ongoing hostilities and the tightening of the noose on residents, particularly in the neighborhoods of Al-Hadaida, Al-Matar, Al-Raba'a, Qaqun, and Marbat Hanoun.
Meanwhile, occupation forces forced residents of several homes belonging to the Abu Jamous family in the eastern neighborhood of the city, close to the Abu al-Foul neighborhood in the camp, to evacuate their homes, giving them a short period to leave.
In Nour Shams camp, the occupation has reinforced its military presence by deploying heavy machinery and bulldozers to Jabal al-Nasr, amidst a tight siege of the camp. It has also seized dozens of homes and converted them into military barracks after expelling their residents.
Local sources reported that occupation forces stormed the Al-Mahjar neighborhood last night, raiding homes belonging to the Fahmawi, Alian, and Abu Al-Saman families, after breaking their doors. Meanwhile, sounds of gunfire were heard in the Jabal Al-Nasr area, along with the dropping of flares in the Al-Manshiya neighborhood, and the widespread deployment of military vehicles in the Al-Manshiya and Al-Maslakh neighborhoods.
At the same time, Israeli bulldozers closed the second section of Nablus Street, which leads into the city, with earth mounds, two days after closing the first section, which leads outwards. Infantry units were deployed, preventing vehicles from passing through flying checkpoints, almost completely isolating the city from its surroundings and paralyzing traffic in the area.
As part of the ongoing aggression, the occupation continues to seize 10 residential buildings in the vicinity of the traffic circle area in the northern neighborhood adjacent to Nablus Street. The buildings, which house dozens of apartments, were forcibly evicted from their residents, and the buildings were transformed into military barracks, in addition to transforming the area into a closed military zone.
Tulkarm also witnessed intense activity by Israeli occupation forces, which were seen roaming the city center and its markets, obstructing the movement of vehicles and civilians.
The ongoing escalation by the occupation forces in the city of Tulkarm and its two camps has resulted in the martyrdom of 13 citizens, including a child and two women, one of whom was eight months pregnant. Dozens have also been injured and arrested, and more than 4,000 families have been forcibly displaced from the Tulkarm and Nur Shams camps, along with dozens of families from the city's northern neighborhood.
The aggression also caused widespread destruction to infrastructure, vehicles, homes, and shops, which were subjected to total and partial demolition, burning, vandalism, looting, and theft. 396 homes were completely destroyed and 2,573 partially destroyed in the Tulkarm and Nur Shams camps, in addition to closing their entrances and alleys with earth mounds.
