Israeli occupation continues its aggression on Tulkarm amidst destruction and attacks.

The Israeli occupation forces continue their aggression on the city of Tulkarm and its camp for the 83rd consecutive day, and on the 70th day on the Nur Shams camp, amid an escalation in the field, including raids, vandalism, and attacks on citizens and their property.


Local sources reported that the city witnessed a heavy deployment of military vehicles and infantry units last night, positioned around Gamal Abdel Nasser Square, Al-Haddadeen Street, and the eastern and southern neighborhoods, amid heavy firing of live ammunition and sound bombs at vehicles and civilians.


Israeli occupation forces detained a number of young men in the southern neighborhood, interrogated them on the spot, and set up a military checkpoint at the old education junction. They began stopping vehicles and checking citizens' IDs, but no arrests were reported.


Infantry forces also stormed the Dhenaba suburb east of the city, positioning themselves near the Attar platforms and carrying out extensive combing and search operations, while their vehicles patrolled the Al-Uqda roundabout area and Al-Firdaws Mosque at its northern entrance.


In Nour Shams camp, late last night, occupation soldiers fired heavy live ammunition at civilians' homes in the Jabal al-Nasr area. Meanwhile, the camp witnesses a daily heavy deployment of occupation vehicles and foot patrols, wreaking havoc and destruction in its neighborhoods and on civilians' property.


An occupation bulldozer also began leveling the schoolyard in Tulkarm camp, and closed its northern entrance with more earth mounds in an attempt to surround and isolate it from its surroundings.


Eyewitnesses reported that the occupation forces placed barbed wire at the entrances to the camp, particularly from the Abu al-Foul and al-Murabba'a neighborhoods, while large numbers of occupation soldiers were deployed in the airport neighborhood and began raiding a number of homes, causing widespread vandalism and destruction.


The occupation continues to seize homes and residential buildings on Nablus Street and the adjacent northern neighborhood, converting them into military barracks after forcibly evacuating their residents. The occupation continues to position its vehicles and bulldozers in the vicinity.


The ongoing Israeli aggression and escalation against the city of Tulkarm and its two camps resulted in the deaths of 13 citizens, 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 hundreds of citizens 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 camps, in addition to the closure of their entrances and alleys with earth mounds.
