The occupation continues its aggression on Tulkarm and its camps for the 144th day, amid continued home demolitions.

The Israeli occupation forces continue their escalating aggression on the city of Tulkarm and its camp for the 144th consecutive day, and for the 131st day on the Nur Shams camp, with house demolitions continuing.

According to local sources, occupation bulldozers continued to demolish more residential buildings in Tulkarm refugee camp for the 14th consecutive day, targeting the neighborhoods of Balawneh, Al-Akasha, Al-Nadi, Al-Sawalmeh, and their surroundings.

The sources added that the occupation forces brought a heavy D10 bulldozer to Nour Shams camp today, which has witnessed continuous demolition operations of residential buildings over the past weeks, resulting in the demolition of more than 50 buildings, under the pretext of opening roads and changing the geographical features of the two camps.

This comes as part of the occupation's plan to demolish 106 buildings in both Tulkarm and Nur Shams refugee camps. These include 58 buildings in Tulkarm camp alone, comprising more than 250 homes and dozens of commercial establishments, and 48 buildings in Nur Shams, under the pretext of opening roads and changing the geographical features of the two camps.

The occupation forces continue to impose a tight siege on the Tulkarm and Nur Shams refugee camps and their surroundings, with infantry units and vehicles deployed in alleys, neighborhoods, and entrances, preventing residents from reaching their homes to inspect them or retrieve their belongings, and firing directly at anyone who attempts to approach.

In a related development, Israeli occupation forces arrested the head of the Engineers Syndicate in Tulkarm, Khalil Ismail Atir, after raiding his home in the town of Far'oun, south of the governorate.

The city also witnesses intensive 24-hour movement of occupation vehicles, specifically in the middle of the market, on the street of the Martyr Thabet Thabet Governmental Hospital, Nablus Street, and the northern neighborhood, where they deliberately obstruct the movement of citizens and vehicles, provocatively sounding their horns and driving against traffic, endangering the lives of citizens.

This escalation is accompanied by a tightening of military measures at the checkpoints surrounding Tulkarm. The occupation has erected surprise checkpoints around the Jabara Bridge gate at the southern entrance to the city, and the Anab military checkpoint to the east. Vehicles are stopped and searched, passengers are subjected to searches and interrogations, traffic is deliberately obstructed, and in many cases, traffic is prevented from passing.

Israeli occupation forces continue to transform Nablus Street into a military barracks, seizing several residential buildings there, as well as parts of the city's northern neighborhood, specifically those facing Tulkarm refugee camp. The occupation forces forcibly evacuated residents of these neighborhoods, some of which have been under occupation control for more than four months, and have deployed heavy machinery and bulldozers in the surrounding areas.

This street, which serves as a link between the Tulkarm and Nur Shams refugee camps, has also suffered significant damage due to earth mounds placed by the occupation forces several months ago. The occupation forces are also heavily present, setting up flying and surprise checkpoints, obstructing vehicle movement and exacerbating the suffering of civilians.

The ongoing aggression has so far resulted in the deaths of 13 civilians, including a child and two women, one of whom was eight months pregnant. Dozens of people have been injured and arrested, and widespread destruction has been caused to infrastructure, homes, shops, and vehicles.

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