The Israeli occupation forces continue their aggression on the city of Tulkarm and its camp for the 61st consecutive day, and on the 48th day on the Nur Shams camp, amid a military escalation, intensive reinforcements, and attacks targeting markets and shops.
In the hours after midnight, infantry units and military vehicles deployed to the gold market in the center of Tulkarm, blocking the movement of vehicles and citizens, interrogating a number of them on the spot, and forcing them to leave the market under the pretext of a curfew.
They also raided the Abu Shanara agricultural supplies store in the area, after removing its gate, searching it and vandalizing its contents. They also raided the Al-Jallad Fertilizers store near Al-Salam Roundabout in the eastern district and vandalized its contents.
Israeli military vehicles patrolled the city's streets at night, including the Abu Safiya intersection, the slaughterhouse roundabout, and the vegetable market. They drove against traffic, disrupting traffic and causing several vehicles to collide.
Meanwhile, the occupation forces set up flying military checkpoints in several locations throughout the city, particularly around Faroun Roundabout to the south, and on the road between the Dhnaba suburb and the town of Kafr al-Labad. The road has become an alternative route for vehicles after the occupation forces destroyed the infrastructure on Nablus Street at the city's main entrance.
Eyewitnesses reported that soldiers stopped vehicles for extended periods, conducted thorough searches, and fired sound bombs at them.
Israeli occupation forces dispatched reinforcements of military vehicles and bulldozers to the Tulkarm and Nur Shams refugee camps, deployed in several neighborhoods, and imposed strict restrictions on the movement of citizens and vehicles.
Tulkarm camp witnessed a large-scale military deployment in the al-Hadaida and al-Matar neighborhoods, where soldiers raided homes, broke down doors, and ransacked their contents. Meanwhile, residents of the al-Hadaida and al-Raba'a neighborhoods continued to be displaced after being forcibly removed from their homes.
In Nour Shams camp, Israeli occupation forces opened heavy and random fire with live ammunition at dawn on Friday, while bulldozers closed several entrances to Jabal al-Nasr neighborhood with earth mounds. The camp is under a tight siege, accompanied by the seizure of dozens of homes and their conversion into military barracks.
On Nablus Street and around the traffic circle, occupation forces reinforced their presence at military barracks they had set up inside residential buildings after forcibly evicting their owners. This coincided with the destruction caused by their bulldozers to the street after closing off sections of it with earth mounds.
Meanwhile, the Tulkarm Education Directorate announced the resumption of in-person education in schools in the city and suburbs starting Sunday, April 6. This follows arrangements with the Ministry of Education and Higher Education, the Tulkarm Governorate, and supporting parties to ensure the smooth running of the educational process.
This decision comes two months after the transition to e-learning was triggered by the ongoing Israeli aggression on the city 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 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 the infrastructure, including homes, shops, and vehicles, which were completely and partially demolished, burned, vandalized, looted, and stolen. 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.
