Tulkarm - Saba:
Israeli forces continue their aggression on the city of Tulkarm and its camp for the 98th consecutive day, and on the Nour Shams camp for the 85th day, amid ongoing escalation on the ground, intensive movements, raids, and arrests.
Local Palestinian sources reported that Israeli forces stormed the Shuweika suburb north of Tulkarm at dawn today, raiding several homes and arresting four citizens, including two former detainees, during the recent ceasefire agreement.
Israeli enemy forces dispatched military reinforcements, including vehicles and infantry units, to the city, its two camps, and its suburbs. These reinforcements included the firing of live ammunition and sound bombs, raiding homes and shops, searching them, vandalizing their contents, and subjecting those present to interrogation, abuse, and arrest.
The Palestinian WAFA News Agency reported that the city is witnessing active activity by Israeli enemy vehicles and infantry units around the clock, patrolling the streets and neighborhoods, obstructing the movement of citizens and their vehicles, and pursuing them, specifically in Gamal Abdel Nasser Square, Thabet Thabet Roundabout, Nablus Street, and Shuweika Roundabout.
In a related context, the Tulkarm and Nour Shams camps and their surroundings are witnessing a heavy deployment of enemy forces, amidst the firing of live ammunition, sound bombs, and flash grenades, with occasional explosions being heard. This coincides with the tightened siege imposed on them, the closure of their entrances with earth mounds, and the accompanying raids and destruction of homes.
Last Thursday evening, the Israeli enemy forces notified the demolition of 106 homes and buildings in the two camps, including (58) buildings in Tulkarm camp and (48) homes in Nour Shams camp. Meanwhile, the ongoing aggression against them has led to the forced displacement of more than 4,200 families from the Tulkarm and Nour Shams camps, comprising more than 25,000 citizens.
The ongoing aggression has also resulted in the complete destruction of 396 homes and the partial destruction of 2,573 others, in addition to the closure of their entrances and alleys with earth mounds.
Meanwhile, the Israeli enemy continues to seize homes and residential buildings on Nablus Street and the adjacent northern neighborhood, turning 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 has resulted in the deaths of 13 Palestinian civilians, including a child and two women, one of whom was eight months pregnant. Dozens have also been injured and arrested, and the infrastructure has been destroyed, with homes, shops, and vehicles being partially or completely demolished, burned, vandalized, looted, and robbed.
