Tulkarm - Saba:
Israeli enemy forces continue their aggression on the city of Tulkarm and its camp for the 94th consecutive day, and on the 81st day on the Nour Shams camp, amid ongoing escalation on the ground and a continuous campaign of raids and arrests.
The Palestinian WAFA News Agency reported that the city witnessed active activity last night by Israeli enemy vehicles and infantry units, patrolling the main and side streets, obstructing the movement of Palestinian citizens and their vehicles, particularly on Paris Street, around the Martyr Thabet Thabet Roundabout, Gamal Abdel Nasser Square, and in the middle of the vegetable market. They detained a number of young men and interrogated them on the spot.
Late last night, enemy foot patrols stormed the Dhnaba suburb east of the city and intensified their deployment around the areas of the Attar platforms, the Sharia school, and the Halima Khreisha school. They stopped and searched vehicles and checked the IDs of their passengers.
Eyewitnesses reported that Israeli soldiers raided a café in the suburb, searched it, and subjected young men to field interrogation. They also raided homes in the area and arrested three young men after assaulting them: Amir Assaf, Ayham Mu'ayyad Shaaban, and Shadi Shaaban.
In a related development, Israeli forces deployed heavily in Jabal al-Nasr in the Nour Shams camp, firing flares in the area, accompanied by heavy live ammunition and sound bombs.
The Tulkarm and Nour Shams camps and their surroundings are witnessing a heavy deployment of Israeli forces, firing live ammunition and sound bombs, with occasional explosions. This coincides with a tight siege of the camps, closing their entrances with earth mounds, and accompanying raids and vandalism of homes, forcing the remaining residents to evacuate their homes at gunpoint.
Enemy forces continue, around the clock, to send military reinforcements, including vehicles and infantry units, into the city, its two camps, and its suburbs. These reinforcements include live ammunition and sound bombs, raids and searches of homes and shops, vandalizing their contents, and subjecting those present to interrogation, abuse, and arrest.
The Israeli enemy continues to seize homes and residential buildings on Nablus Street and the adjacent northern neighborhood, converting them into military barracks after forcibly evacuating their residents. Israeli forces stationed their vehicles and bulldozers in the vicinity.
The ongoing Israeli aggression and escalation on the city of Tulkarm and its two refugee camps resulted in the deaths of 13 Palestinian citizens, including a child and two women, one of whom was eight months pregnant. Dozens more were injured and arrested.
It also resulted in the forced displacement of more than 4,200 families from the Tulkarm and Nour Shams refugee camps, comprising more than 25,000 residents. Hundreds of residents also fled the northern and eastern neighborhoods of the city after their homes were seized and several were converted into military barracks.
The aggression caused extensive destruction to infrastructure, homes, shops, and vehicles, which were completely and partially demolished, burned, vandalized, looted, and stolen. 396 homes were completely destroyed and 2,573 partially destroyed in the Tulkarm and Nour Shams refugee camps, in addition to blocking their entrances and alleys with earth mounds.
