The occupation expands its aggression on Tulkarm: storming towns and closing their entrances with earth mounds.

Israeli occupation forces escalated their aggression against Tulkarm Governorate at dawn on Friday, launching a large-scale raid on several towns in the eastern and northern regions, carrying out raids, vandalizing homes, and making arrests. The raids were accompanied by a large deployment of infantry units and heavy military vehicles, including bulldozers.

East of Tulkarm, Israeli occupation forces stormed the town of Bal'a, accompanied by a military bulldozer. They raided and searched homes after breaking their doors and deliberately destroying their contents. They also smashed several vehicles and punctured their tires. The raids were concentrated in the eastern and western neighborhoods, the town center, and the Ras area.

Local sources reported that the occupation forces seized several homes in the town, turning them into military barracks and deploying snipers inside and on the roofs. They forced the residents to evacuate under threat and prevented them from returning for a week. They also arrested citizen Nasr Nasouh after raiding his home.

The occupation forces also stormed the town of Anabta and the Kafr Rumman suburb, deploying infantry units and vehicles in the streets and neighborhoods, conducting sweeping and search operations, and conducting extensive movements.

In the northern part of the governorate, Israeli occupation forces stormed the town of Attil with a large number of military vehicles and infantry units. They raided several homes, vandalized their contents, and seized a number of them. They then turned the homes into military barracks after forcing their residents to evacuate under threat, and told them not to return for a week.

The occupation forces also raided a number of shops after removing their doors and vandalizing their contents, while firing sound bombs intensively.

Local sources told WAFA that Israeli bulldozers accompanied the occupation forces during the raid, closing off sections of the town's streets with earth mounds, bulldozing other streets, and destroying the town's infrastructure.

The road at the Attil Triangle, the road connecting the towns of Attil and Allar to the north, and the Attil-Zeita road were also closed with earth mounds, isolating the town from its surroundings.

During their ongoing aggression on the town, the occupation forces arrested Yousef Abu Tahoun, a displaced person from Tulkarm camp.

In a related development, the occupation forces closed the main entrance to the town of Deir al-Ghusun, north of Tulkarm, with earth mounds, as well as the entrance to Wadi Masin, located between the towns of Deir al-Ghusun and Bal'a, isolating them from the outside world.

The occupation forces also raided a number of homes in the town, searched them, vandalized their contents, and subjected their residents to interrogation. They also arrested the young man, Mahmoud Hamza Ghanem, from his home in the town.

Israeli occupation forces continued their aggression against the town of Zeita, north of Tulkarm, for the seventh consecutive day, raiding and vandalizing homes and converting a number of them into military barracks. Meanwhile, infantry units were deployed extensively, obstructing the movement of citizens.

This raid coincides with the ongoing aggression on the city of Tulkarm and its two camps, Tulkarm and Nur Shams, for the 145th consecutive day, resulting in a siege, the demolition of homes, and widespread destruction of infrastructure and civilian property.
