Tulkarm - Saba:
The Palestinian resistance early on Tuesday confronted the Zionist enemy forces during their incursion into the Tulkarm camp in the occupied West Bank, while those forces continue their aggression against Jenin for the eighth consecutive day.
The Al-Quds Brigades - Tulkarm Battalion announced in a statement this morning that its fighters, accompanied by the Qassam Battalions and the Youth of Revenge and Liberation, set up several ambushes for the enemy forces that tried to infiltrate the Tulkarm camp from multiple directions.
Local field sources said direct blows were delivered to the soldiers after they were targeted with a heavy barrage of bullets and explosive devices.
The clashes extended to the vicinity of the "Tsnaoz" checkpoint west of Tulkarm, where the resistance fighters surprised the occupation forces stationed there with heavy gunfire.
Last night, the enemy forces imposed a tight siege on the Martyr Thabet Thabet Governmental Hospital and Al-Israa Hospital, coinciding with extensive bulldozing operations that affected the city center and the vicinity of the main roundabout.
Eyewitnesses from inside the camp reported that the enemy forces evacuated some families from their homes at gunpoint in the Al-Matar and Marbat Hanoun neighborhoods, and informed them not to return for a week.
The enemy forces seized a number of tall buildings overlooking the Al-Shuhada and Al-Hamam neighborhoods, and turned them into military barracks after evacuating their residents, the eyewitnesses added.
The Tulkarm Endowments Directorate announced the opening of the Musab bin Omair and Salah al-Din mosques in the city, to citizens who were stranded as a result of the occupation's aggression.
Enemy bulldozers continue to destroy the infrastructure and citizens' properties, including homes and shops, in various neighborhoods of the camp, specifically Balawneh, Al-Wakala, and schools. The occupation soldiers also burned down the house of the Shaheen family in Al-Wakala neighborhood in the camp.
The enemy forces imposed a tight siege on the camp, and deployed their vehicles and snipers at all entrances leading to it, amidst heavy gunfire and the sound of explosions heard from time to time.
The enemy forces arrested a number of citizens from the Rashid neighborhood in the Dhnaba suburb adjacent to the camp, after raiding their homes.
Earlier, a Zionist bulldozer caused destruction to the city's streets and infrastructure and uprooted trees, specifically in the street leading to the Martyr Thabet Thabet Governmental Hospital, which the enemy forces impose a tight siege on and obstruct the work of ambulance vehicles and crews.
The destruction also affected the infrastructure, water, electricity and internet networks around Jamal Abdel Nasser Square in the center of the city, Al-Muqata'a Street in the eastern neighborhood, and Khadouri Street in the western neighborhood, amidst the deployment of occupation soldiers in the city's neighborhoods, and snipers on buildings.
Tulkarm Mayor Riyad Awad said that the enemy bulldozers uprooted trees and hit a main electricity transformer, causing power outages in large parts of the city. The attacks also targeted the water network line, forcing the municipality to close the main valves and stop supplying water to homes, according to Sand.
The official Zionist Broadcasting Authority on Monday said the army expanded its military operation that it began in Jenin in the northern West Bank eight days ago, to include Tulkarm and its camp, amid airstrikes.
In Jenin, the enemy forces continue their aggression on Jenin camp for the eighth consecutive day amidst intense clashes.. The enemy forces carried out more destruction operations against homes and infrastructure.
