Israeli occupation forces burned down several homes in the Nur Shams camp, east of Tulkarm, on Sunday evening.
According to local sources, the occupation forces burned a number of homes in the Al-Manshiya neighborhood of the camp, amid a tight siege and ongoing aggression for the 162nd consecutive day. Military vehicles and infantry units are deployed widely, using citizens' homes as military barracks after forcing their residents to evacuate, and are firing live ammunition at anyone who attempts to approach the camp.
In recent weeks, Nur Shams camp has been subjected to extensive demolition operations, including dozens of residential buildings, as part of an Israeli plan to demolish 106 buildings in Tulkarm and Nur Shams camps. 48 of these buildings were demolished in Nur Shams alone, causing widespread destruction and creating wide streets that separated neighborhoods from each other.
In a related development, Israeli bulldozers continued their demolition work in Tulkarm camp, which began last week, at a rapid pace, targeting more residential buildings.
This escalation in Tulkarm camp, which is entering its 175th consecutive day, comes as part of the occupation's new plan to demolish 104 buildings, comprising approximately 400 homes. This comes as part of a series of demolitions that have affected several neighborhoods in the camp over the past few weeks, specifically: Al-Murabba'a, Abu Al-Foul, Al-Shuhada', and Al-Hamam, and have resulted in thousands of families losing their homes.
The ongoing escalation of the occupation has led to the forced displacement of more than 5,000 families from the Tulkarm and Nur Shams camps, representing more than 25,000 citizens. The total destruction of more than 600 buildings and the partial damage of 2,573 homes have also occurred. The entrances to the camps remain closed with barriers, transforming them into lifeless areas. Residents are prevented from reaching their homes or checking on their property, amid direct gunfire targeting anyone who approaches the area.
