The occupation continues its aggression on Tulkarm and storms several towns in the governorate.

Israeli occupation forces stormed several towns in Tulkarm Governorate on Saturday, coinciding with the ongoing aggression on the city and its camp for the 160th consecutive day, and on the 147th day on Nour Shams camp.

According to local sources, occupation forces stormed the towns of Anabta and Bal'a, east of Tulkarm, patrolling the streets and neighborhoods and positioning themselves at several intersections, obstructing the movement of vehicles and civilians.

The sources added that another military force stormed the town of Sidon, north of the governorate, raided and searched several homes, and arrested freed prisoner Laith Wassef al-Ashqar while he was in a shop in the town center.

The raid extended to include the towns of Allar, Attil, and Deir al-Ghusun, where occupation forces deployed in the towns' main streets and neighborhoods amid a state of tension and alert.

Meanwhile, the city and its suburbs witnessed a deployment of occupation vehicles and infantry squads today, patrolling its main streets, specifically Nablus Street, the central market, the eastern neighborhood, and the Shuweika and Iktaba neighborhoods. They obstructed the movement of citizens and vehicles, honking their horns in a provocative manner and driving against traffic, endangering the lives of citizens.

Meanwhile, the occupation forces continue to impose a tight siege on the Tulkarm and Nur Shams refugee camps and their surroundings, with infantry units and military vehicles deployed in alleys and entrances, preventing residents from reaching their homes or checking on their property, amid direct gunfire targeting anyone approaching the area.

The occupation forces continue to transform Nablus Street into a military barracks, continuing their seizure of a number of residential buildings there, along with parts of the northern neighborhood of the city, specifically those facing Tulkarm refugee camp, and parts of the eastern neighborhood close to the camp. The occupation forces forcibly evacuated their residents, some of whom have been under occupation control for more than four months, and have deployed heavy machinery and bulldozers in their surroundings.

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 14 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 affected infrastructure, homes, shops, and vehicles.

The escalation has led to the forced displacement of more than 5,000 families from the two camps, representing over 25,000 citizens. It has also led to the complete destruction of more than 600 homes and the partial damage of 2,573 others. Meanwhile, the entrances to the two camps remain blocked with barriers, transforming them into almost lifeless areas.
