Tulkarm - (Saba):
The Tulkarm Media Committee stated that Israeli enemy forces are continuing their widespread aggression in the city of Tulkarm and its camp for the 124th consecutive day, and for the 111th day in the Nur Shams camp.
This aggression includes ongoing raids, bulldozing, and demolishing homes, pursuing citizens, and obstructing their entry to their homes.
The committee added in a statement on Friday that enemy forces have raided several towns in Tulkarm in recent hours, and that occupation soldiers have deployed heavily on the main and side streets, simultaneously obstructing the movement of citizens and vehicles, and firing sound bombs and tear gas at them.
The committee noted that enemy bulldozers are continuing their home demolitions in the Nur Shams camp, as part of a plan to demolish 106 residential buildings in Tulkarm, including 48 in the Nur Shams camp.
It noted that enemy forces fired live ammunition at citizens and press crews while they were in the wooded area opposite the camp.
The city of Tulkarm is witnessing intense activity by Israeli occupation vehicles and infantry units, patrolling the main streets and neighborhoods, sounding their horns in a provocative manner, driving against traffic, and setting up surprise checkpoints, particularly in the center of the market and around the Martyr Thabet Thabet Governmental Hospital.
The committee explained that, in recent hours, Israeli forces notified residents of 58 buildings in Tulkarm camp of immediate demolition orders, paving the way for their evacuation. These buildings contain more than 250 housing units.
The committee added that the Israeli occupation forces have designated only four entrances and exits for the owners of the homes threatened with demolition, giving them a very limited period of time.
The committee noted that the Israeli occupation army is seizing 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 buildings have been under Israeli occupation control for more than two months.
The ongoing enemy aggression in Tulkarm has resulted in the deaths of 13 civilians, including a child and two women, one of whom was eight months pregnant. Dozens have also been wounded and detained, and the widespread destruction of infrastructure, homes, shops, and vehicles has been a result of demolition, arson, and looting.
The enemy's crimes have displaced more than 4,200 families from the two camps, representing over 25,000 citizens. The attacks have also resulted in the complete destruction of more than 400 homes and the partial destruction of 2,573 others. The entrances and alleys of the camps have also been sealed off with earth mounds.
