Israeli occupation forces stormed Jenin and continued demolitions in Tulkarm camp.

Israeli occupation forces renewed their incursions into areas of the West Bank on Monday, including two towns in Jenin, and continued their demolition of residential buildings in Tulkarm refugee camp for the fourth day, as part of their ongoing assault on the city that has lasted 134 days.

Today, Israeli occupation forces raided the towns of Silat al-Harithiya and al-Yamun, west of Jenin in the northern West Bank. Local sources confirmed that the occupation forces raided and searched several homes and interrogated their owners on the spot.

Sources reported that occupation forces stormed the town of Yamoun, detained two young men, and interrogated them on the spot. This comes amid the occupation's intensified aggression against Jenin's towns and villages, with ongoing raids on homes and businesses and daily arrests of residents.

Sources also told Al Jazeera that occupation forces stormed the Umm al-Sharait neighborhood in the city of al-Bireh in the central West Bank and began searching facilities, while settlers set fire to Palestinian land near the Karmei Tzur settlement in Beit Ummar, north of Hebron.

Continuous demolition

Today, the occupation forces continued to demolish residential buildings in Tulkarm camp for the fourth consecutive day, coinciding with the 134th consecutive day of their aggression against the city and camp.

The Palestinian News Agency, WAFA, reported that the occupation forces demolished dozens of residential buildings in the Balawneh and Akasha neighborhoods in Tulkarm refugee camp, as part of the occupation's plan to demolish 106 buildings in both Tulkarm and Nur Shams refugee camps.

The agency reported that 58 of the buildings included in the plan are in Tulkarm camp, comprising more than 250 housing units and dozens of commercial establishments.

In early May, the Israeli army announced its intention to demolish 106 buildings in the Tulkarm and Nur Shams camps, as part of its efforts to force the displacement of Palestinians.

Tulkarm Governor Abdullah Kamil also said at the time that the occupation intended to demolish 58 buildings in Tulkarm camp and 48 homes in Nur Shams camp in the northern West Bank.

This comes as the Israeli army continues its tight siege of the Tulkarm and Nur Shams refugee camps and their surroundings, preventing Palestinians from reaching their homes under threat of fire.

In the Nur Shams refugee camp in Tulkarm, the Israeli army continues its aggression for the 127th consecutive day amid widespread escalation on the ground, according to the agency.

Over the past few days, Nour Shams camp has witnessed the ongoing demolition of more than 20 residential buildings, as part of the occupation's plan to demolish 48 buildings in the camp, under the pretext of opening roads and changing the geographical features of the two camps.

Palestinian sources reported that Tulkarm and its suburbs are witnessing intense Israeli military activity, with infantry units and army vehicles patrolling the main streets and neighborhoods and obstructing civilian movement.

In this context, the Israeli army continues to seize a number of buildings on Nablus Street and the northern neighborhood of the city, specifically those opposite Tulkarm refugee camp, after forcibly evacuating their residents and converting them into military barracks.

The Palestinian agency noted that some of these buildings have been under Israeli military control for more than three months, with the Israeli army deploying its machinery and bulldozers in their vicinity.

According to the latest data, the Israeli escalation has displaced more than 5,000 families from the two camps, representing over 25,000 residents, and has completely destroyed at least 400 homes and partially destroyed 2,573 others. The entrances to the camps remain blocked with barriers, transforming them into almost lifeless areas, according to the agency.

In parallel with the war of extermination in the Gaza Strip, the Israeli army and settlers have escalated their attacks in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, resulting in the deaths of at least 974 Palestinians, the injury of approximately 7,000, and the arrest of more than 17,000, according to Palestinian data.

Since October 7, 2023, Israel, with US support, has been committing genocide in the Gaza Strip, leaving more than 181,000 Palestinians dead or wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 11,000 missing, in addition to hundreds of thousands displaced.
