The Israeli occupation forces continue their aggression on the city of Tulkarm and its camp for the 89th consecutive day, and on the Nour Shams camp for the 76th day, amid ongoing field escalation.
Local sources reported that the occupation forces dispatched military reinforcements, including vehicles and infantry units, to the city, its two camps, and its suburbs. They fired live ammunition and sound bombs, raided and searched homes and shops, vandalized their contents, and interrogated those present.
In Nour Shams camp, Israeli infantry units deployed at dawn today in the al-Mahjar neighborhood, firing live ammunition and sound bombs. This comes as the camp continues its tight siege, which has seen the forced displacement of residents of Jabal al-Nasr and Jabal al-Salihin after they were forced to evacuate their homes at gunpoint.
Tulkarm camp is also witnessing a heavy deployment of occupation soldiers, who have wreaked havoc and destroyed the property of its residents after expelling them, leaving the camp empty and devoid of any sign of life. Its entrances are closed with earth mounds and some sections of its neighborhoods with barbed wire.
Meanwhile, Tulkarm is witnessing a daily escalation in the field, with raids and incursions into its neighborhoods and markets. This includes the deployment of foot and mobile vehicles, amid provocative and arbitrary measures against citizens, particularly young men, including detention, abuse, confiscation of their IDs and mobile phones, and, in many cases, arrest.
The occupation forces also continue to seize homes and residential buildings on Nablus Street and the adjacent northern neighborhood, converting them into military barracks after forcibly evacuating their residents. They also position their vehicles and bulldozers around them.
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 4,200 families from the Tulkarm and Nur Shams camps, comprising over 24,000 residents, along with hundreds of residents 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.
