The Israeli occupation forces continue their aggression on the city of Tulkarm and its camp for the 107th consecutive day, and on the Nour Shams camp for the 94th day, amid military reinforcements and ongoing field escalation.
Local sources reported that the occupation forces are sending military reinforcements, including vehicles and infantry units, to the city and its two camps around the clock. They are patrolling the main streets, provocatively honking their horns and deliberately driving against traffic, obstructing the movement of citizens and vehicles.
This coincided with the continued forcing of a number of residents of the eastern neighborhood of the city, specifically the area adjacent to the Abu al-Foul neighborhood in Tulkarm camp, to evacuate their homes, as
Last night, the Zikan family was informed that they had to evacuate their home and given until 8:00 a.m. today. This area is subject to evictions from time to time.
This morning, Israeli occupation forces set up a flying checkpoint around the Jabara Bridge gate at the southern entrance to Tulkarm. They stopped vehicles passing in both directions, checked the IDs of their passengers, and interrogated them.
In a related development, the occupation forces are continuing their escalation in the Tulkarm and Nur Shams refugee camps, under a tight siege, accompanied by the sound of massive explosions throughout the region.
Eyewitnesses reported hearing a massive explosion late last night throughout Nour Shams camp. There is no precise information available about the cause or the extent of the damage caused by the siege and the ban on entry and exit from the camp.
Yesterday and over the past few days, Nur Shams camp was subjected to widespread demolition and bombing 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. Tension remains 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 the apartments they housed. Their residents had evacuated the buildings after receiving prior coordination and were 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 station their vehicles in the vicinity, while some buildings have remained under occupation control for more than two months.
The ongoing Israeli aggression and escalation against the city of Tulkarm and its two camps resulted in the martyrdom of 13 citizens, including a child and two women, one of whom was eight months pregnant. Dozens were also injured and arrested, and the infrastructure, homes, shops, and vehicles were 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.
