The Israeli occupation forces continue their escalating aggression against the city of Tulkarm and its camp for the 76th consecutive day, and for the 63rd day against the Nur Shams camp, amid military reinforcements and ongoing field escalation.
Local sources reported that late last night, Israeli occupation forces dispatched military reinforcements, including vehicles and Eitan armored vehicles, to the city. They were stationed around the Peace Roundabout in the eastern neighborhood, obstructing traffic. Israeli soldiers conducted thorough searches of vehicles and citizens' IDs.
In the same context, the occupation forces dispatched additional military reinforcements, including infantry units and vehicles, to the Tulkarm and Nur Shams refugee camps, while live ammunition was fired and explosions were heard from time to time.
In Tulkarm refugee camp, occupation forces deployed in the Abu al-Foul neighborhood, conducting search and combing operations. They also fired flares into the skies above the camp, as part of the ongoing escalation that has affected all of its neighborhoods. The camp has been emptied of its residents after they were forcibly displaced from their homes, and is completely devoid of any signs of life, following the complete destruction of its infrastructure, the sabotage, demolition, and burning of homes and facilities.
Israeli occupation forces continue their tight siege of Nour Shams refugee camp, with explosions heard last night. They also continue raiding and searching homes in the al-Mahjar neighborhood, detaining young men and subjecting them to field investigations.
Israeli occupation forces continue to seize homes and residential buildings on Nablus Street and the city's northern neighborhood, converting them into military barracks with their vehicles stationed around them. The pace of these seizures has intensified after they seized five additional buildings yesterday, containing dozens of apartments housing dozens of families, including displaced persons from the Tulkarm and Nur Shams camps.
Among these buildings are others that had been previously seized by the occupation forces: Khrioush 3, Al-Rabi', Al-Firdous, Al-Amer, and Khrioush 6, located within two residential blocks in the northern neighborhood and Nablus Street opposite Tulkarm camp and the Dhnaba suburb.
Meanwhile, Nablus Road, which connects the Tulkarm and Nur Shams refugee camps, has witnessed a heavy deployment of occupation forces, restricting movement and harassing citizens. Sections of the road have been closed off with earth mounds in both directions.
The ongoing Israeli aggression and escalation against the city of Tulkarm and its two refugee camps resulted in the deaths of 13 civilians, including a child and two women, one of whom was eight months pregnant. Dozens more were injured and arrested.
It also resulted in the forced displacement of more than 4,000 families 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 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.
