Occupied Quds - Saba:
Israeli enemy forces continue their aggression against the city of Tulkarm and its camp for the 116th consecutive day, and for the 103rd day against the Nur Shams camp, amidst escalating attacks on the ground, intensive military reinforcements, and arrests.
Local sources said that the enemy forces are continuing their escalation on the ground through repeated raids on the city and the camps around the clock, in addition to setting up surprise checkpoints, particularly in the city center, Nablus Street, and the Shuweika roundabout in the northern neighborhood.
In the early hours of the morning, Israeli forces arrested two young men from the city after raiding their homes. The men are: Yazan Omar Qazmar (24 years old) and Muhammad Hassan Khalaf (35 years old), both former detainees,
Sources indicated that Israeli forces set up a flying checkpoint this morning around the Jabara Bridge gate at the southern entrance to Tulkarm. They stopped vehicles, searched several of them, and checked the IDs of their passengers. They arrested one young man, whose identity has not yet been determined.
The Israeli forces continue to impose a tight siege on the Tulkarm and Nour Shams refugee camps, accompanied by occasional gunfire and explosions.
The sources reported that Israeli soldiers carried out an explosion yesterday in the Balawneh neighborhood of Tulkarm camp, the details of which are unknown due to the tight siege and the prevention of residents from entering.
Meanwhile, Israeli forces continue to prevent forcibly displaced families from returning to their homes or even checking their property in the camps, and are subjected to pursuit and gunfire when they attempt to approach. In recent days, Nour Shams camp has witnessed a demolition campaign targeting more than 20 residential buildings in its main neighborhoods, damaging neighboring buildings. This is part of the occupation's plan to demolish 106 buildings in Tulkarm and Nour Shams camps, to open roads and alter their geographical features.
In the same context, the Dhnaba neighborhood, east of the city, has witnessed the movement of Israeli enemy vehicles, patrolling the main streets, conducting extensive searches and combing operations, and obstructing the movement of citizens and vehicles.
Israeli enemy forces also continue to seize homes and residential buildings on Nablus Street and the adjacent northern neighborhood, after forcibly evacuating their residents and converting them into military barracks. Some of these areas have been under occupation for more than two months.
The ongoing aggression has so far left 13 civilians dead, including a child and two women, one of whom was eight months pregnant.
Dozens have also been wounded and detained, and the infrastructure, homes, shops, and vehicles have been destroyed by demolition, arson, and looting.
The aggression has also displaced more than 4,200 families from the two camps, representing over 25,000 citizens. It has also completely destroyed more than 400 homes and partially destroyed 2,573 others.
The entrances and alleys of the camps have been sealed off with earth mounds, transforming them into isolated areas almost devoid of any signs of life.
