The Israeli occupation forces continue their aggression on the city of Tulkarm and its camp for the 69th consecutive day, and on the Nour Shams camp for the 56th day, amid ongoing field escalation and extensive military reinforcements.
Local sources reported that occupation forces dispatched military reinforcements to the city and its two refugee camps, Tulkarm and Nur Shams, at dawn on Saturday. They deployed large infantry units in the neighborhoods, stormed homes, and fired live ammunition and flares.
She added that the occupation forces are still stationed in several homes inside the Tulkarm and Nur Shams camps, having converted a number of them into military barracks. Meanwhile, occupation vehicles are deployed throughout the city's streets, particularly on Nablus Street and around the camps, amidst a tight siege.
This morning, Nour Shams camp witnessed heavy firing of flares, coinciding with the storming of several homes by infantry soldiers in the Al-Maslakh neighborhood. The sound of smashing and breaking was heard inside the homes, and a D10 military bulldozer was seen moving in the Al-Maslakh neighborhood, heading towards Jabal al-Nasr, amid citizens' fears of house bulldozing or demolition operations.
Meanwhile, occupation forces deployed around the Nour Shams cemetery, storming it and conducting searches and combing operations inside. They also dispatched reinforcements of military vehicles, including a water tanker, to the al-Manshiya neighborhood of the camp.
Meanwhile, occupation forces deployed late last night inside the neighborhoods of Tulkarm camp.
Flash bombs were fired in the airport neighborhood, as part of the ongoing escalation that has affected all neighborhoods in the camp. The camp has been emptied of its residents after they were forcibly displaced, and is completely devoid of any sign of life, following the complete destruction of its infrastructure and the sabotage, demolition, and burning of dozens of homes and facilities.
In a related context, occupation forces provocatively patrolled the city's streets and neighborhoods at night, particularly in the central market area, around Thabet Thabet Square, Hospital Street, and Nablus Street.
The occupation forces continue to seize a number of homes and residential buildings on Nablus Street and the city's northern neighborhood, transforming them into military barracks with their vehicles stationed around them. Meanwhile, they are restricting citizens by setting up flying military checkpoints on Nablus Street, the sections of which have been closed off with earth mounds in both directions.
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 and citizens' property, including homes, shops, and vehicles, which were completely and partially demolished, burned, vandalized, looted, and stolen. The occupation forces completely destroyed 396 homes and partially destroyed 2,573 others in the Tulkarm and Nur Shams camps, in addition to closing their entrances and alleys with earth mounds.
