Israeli occupation continues its aggression on the city of Tulkarm and its two camps for the 65th day.

Israeli occupation forces continue their aggression on the city of Tulkarm and its camp for the 65th consecutive day, and on the Nour Shams camp for the 52nd day, amid military reinforcements, raids, and the expulsion of residents from their homes.


Israeli occupation forces deployed military reinforcements toward the Nur Shams refugee camp, east of Tulkarm, as part of an ongoing campaign of raids targeting the area.


Eyewitnesses reported that late last night, occupation forces forced residents of the Jabal al-Salihin area inside the camp to leave their homes, amid widespread raids and searches of homes and residential buildings. Soldiers also opened fire in the al-Maslakh neighborhood inside the camp, with no reports of injuries.


Nour Shams camp is witnessing a continuous escalation by the occupation forces, which are imposing a siege on it, coinciding with raids by military vehicles, bulldozers, and infantry units into its neighborhoods, particularly in Al-Manshiyya and Al-Maslakh. This is accompanied by raids, vandalism, and burning of homes and infrastructure, and the forced displacement of residents, especially in Jabal Al-Nasr and Jabal Al-Salihin.


The occupation forces continue their siege of Tulkarm camp, and their heavy deployment in its neighborhoods, which have become almost empty of its residents after they were forcibly displaced from their homes, and completely devoid of any signs of life. This has affected the neighborhoods located on its outskirts, the last of which are the neighborhoods of Al-Hadaida and Al-Rabaia, accompanied by the complete destruction of the infrastructure and the sabotage, demolition and burning of homes and facilities.


At dawn on Tuesday, occupation forces raided the home of Ali Awda in the southern neighborhood of the city, searching it, vandalizing and destroying its contents, without any arrests being reported.


In a related development, Israeli occupation forces set up a flying military checkpoint at Far'oun Roundabout, the southern entrance to Tulkarm, and searched citizens' vehicles, disrupting traffic. Meanwhile, infantry units were deployed extensively throughout the city's streets and neighborhoods, as part of a crackdown on citizens and restricting their movement, especially during the Eid holiday.


Israeli occupation forces fired live ammunition at a vehicle driven by a woman as it passed through Al-Quds Open University Street in the northern neighborhood, before stopping and interrogating the woman. No injuries or arrests were reported.


From time to time, the occupation forces set up checkpoints on Nablus Road, obstructing vehicle traffic as part of a policy of restricting movement of citizens, especially after they closed sections of the road with earth mounds in both directions. This coincided with their seizure of a number of homes on the road, converting them into military barracks and stationing their vehicles in the vicinity.


The ongoing aggression on the city and its two camps has resulted in the deaths 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 after their homes were seized and a number of them converted into military barracks.


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 refugee camps, in addition to the closure of their entrances and alleys with earth mounds.
