The occupation continues to demolish homes in Nour Shams camp in Tulkarm

Israeli occupation forces continue to carry out demolition operations in Nour Shams camp in Tulkarm in the West Bank, where about 25 buildings housing more than 100 homes are being targeted.

Amjad Shhada clarified that the demolition operation began in the western area of the camp, known as the "Slaughterhouse" neighborhood, then the bulldozers moved to the eastern area, specifically in the "Manshiya" neighborhood, as part of a new wave of demolitions.

He added that the demolition of these homes is part of a series of operations including 3 camps that the occupation has been raiding for about 11 months in the northern West Bank, where the total number of homes demolished since the beginning of the incursions has reached about 500, according to the Popular Committee for Nour Shams Camp Services.

Shhada indicated that the ongoing demolition operations have led to the destruction of half the homes and more than a quarter partially, making only a quarter of the homes habitable in the camp in the event of the occupation's withdrawal.

He added that the demolition operations come as part of a strategy aimed at displacing and weakening the camp residents, who number more than 40,000 Palestinians, alongside the continuation of daily incursions, raids, and arrests carried out by occupation forces in the West Bank.

Arrests and incursions

The latest incursions included scattered areas of the West Bank, including the town of Anabta and Kafr al-Labad east of Tulkarm, the town of Halhul and Dura north and south of Hebron, in addition to areas in Bethlehem such as Hussan and Beit Jala.

Israeli occupation forces arrested, on Friday, three Palestinians from Hebron governorate during extensive raids on citizens' homes.

These moves come amid the continuation of settler assaults on Palestinian citizens.
