Aggression on Tulkarm: Raids, arrests, bulldozing, and destruction of infrastructure

The Israeli occupation forces continue their escalating aggression against the city of Tulkarm and its camp for the 75th consecutive day, and for the 62nd day against the Nur Shams camp, amid military reinforcements, escalating field operations, and arrests.


Local sources reported that the occupation forces raided a number of citizens' homes in the city's suburbs at dawn on Friday, searching them and vandalizing their contents. They arrested four citizens, including former detainees: Adi Fayeq Shaaban, Muthanna Al-Masry, and Moatasem Asaad Shalbaya, all from the Dhnaba suburb, and Ammar Manaa from the Ezbet Al-Jarad suburb.


The occupation forces also raided the home of the Hijazi family in Dhnaba, deliberately vandalizing and destroying its contents. They deployed their vehicles in the streets of the suburb, set up flying checkpoints, and searched citizens' vehicles and checked the identities of their passengers.


Meanwhile, occupation forces patrolled the city's southern neighborhood, specifically Al-Amouri Mosque Street and Omar Bin Abdul Aziz School Street, conducting combing and search operations.


Late last night, an Israeli occupation forces' diesel tanker truck rammed into and damaged lampposts around Thabet Thabet Square in the city center, causing damage and obstructing vehicle traffic. The tanker, which was traveling alongside a number of military vehicles, drove against traffic and ran over empty stalls scattered on the sidewalks.


In the same context, the occupation forces sent military reinforcements of infantry units, vehicles and bulldozers to the Tulkarm and Nour Shams camps, accompanied by the firing of live ammunition, and the sound of explosions heard from time to time. In Nour Shams camp, the occupation forces stormed the Al-Mahjar neighborhood, carried out raids and searches of homes, and detained a number of young men after taking them away and subjecting them to field investigation, before releasing them at a later time. At a time when the camp is witnessing a complete siege, including raids on homes, vandalism, the expulsion of their residents and preventing them from returning to them.


The occupation forces continue to seize 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' movement on the street, sections of which have been closed off with earth mounds in both directions.


This escalation comes as part of the occupation's continued systematic aggression on the city of Tulkarm and its tightened siege on its two camps, which has resulted in the martyrdom of 13 citizens, including a child and two women, one of whom was eight months pregnant, in addition to the injury and arrest of dozens, and the forced displacement of more than 4,000 families from the Tulkarm and Nur Shams camps, along with dozens of families from the northern neighborhood of the city after their homes were seized and a number of them converted into military barracks.


The occupation's 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.
