The occupation's aggression on the city of Tulkarm and its two camps enters its 105th day.

The Israeli occupation's aggression on the city of Tulkarm and its camp has entered its 105th consecutive day, and the 92nd day on the Nur Shams camp, amid a continuous escalation of field raids and the demolition of homes.


Local sources reported that the occupation forces are sending military reinforcements to the city around the clock, patrolling its main streets, sounding their horns provocatively, and obstructing the movement of citizens.


This morning, occupation forces arrested Aseed Dagher from the Shuweika suburb, and detained Abdul Abu Labdeh from Nour Shams camp and Mustafa Al-Kharouf from Al-Salam neighborhood east of the city for a period of time after severely beating them.


Yesterday, Tulkarm witnessed intense provocative movements by its military vehicles and infantry units, accompanied by the heavy firing of sound bombs at passersby. These were noticeably concentrated on Paris Street, the Martyr Thabet Thabet Roundabout, the vicinity of the Martyr Thabet Thabet Governmental Hospital, Gamal Abdel Nasser Square, Al-Haddadeen Street, and the center of the market, where flying checkpoints were set up, obstructing the movement of citizens and vehicles, and subjecting them to inspection, scrutiny, and interrogation.


These forces also raided a number of cafes and shops, arbitrarily closing some of them, and detained young men inside one of the shops, subjecting them to interrogation.


In a related development, Israeli occupation forces are continuing their escalation on the ground in Nour Shams camp, where they blew up four buildings in the Manshiyya neighborhood yesterday, each with at least three floors. The explosions were accompanied by the sound of massive explosions throughout the area, with heavy smoke rising.


Last week, Nur Shams camp witnessed widespread demolition of residential buildings in the neighborhoods of Al-Manshiya, Al-Maslakh, Al-Jami', Al-Eidah, and Al-Shuhada. This comes as part of the occupation's plan to demolish 106 homes and residential buildings in Tulkarm and Nur Shams camps. Tensions remain high in the camp, with residents anticipating a new wave of demolitions.


According to local estimates, the number of buildings demolished by Israeli bulldozers over the past week has reached 15, including apartments whose residents had been evacuated after receiving prior coordination and forcibly displaced during the ongoing aggression.


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. The occupation forces have stationed their vehicles in the vicinity, even though some buildings have remained under occupation control for more than two months.


The occupation's ongoing aggression and escalation against the city of Tulkarm and its two camps has resulted in the martyrdom of 13 citizens, including a child and two women, one of whom was eight months pregnant. Dozens have also been injured and arrested, and the infrastructure, homes, shops, and vehicles have been completely and partially demolished, burned, vandalized, looted, and robbed.


The aggression also resulted in the forced displacement of more than 4,200 families from the Tulkarm and Nur Shams camps, comprising over 25,000 citizens. It also resulted in the complete destruction of more than 400 homes and the partial destruction of 2,573 others. Furthermore, the entrances and alleys were sealed off with earth mounds, transforming them into isolated areas devoid of any sign of life.
