Tulkarm / PNN /
The Israeli occupation forces continue their aggression against the city of Tulkarm and its camp for the 50th consecutive day, and for the 37th day against the Nur Shams camp.
This includes forced displacement, intensive raids on homes, and the forced expulsion of residents, as the siege and incursions continue amidst military reinforcements.
Media Sources said that the occupation forces escalated their violations against the residents of Tulkarm camp last night.
They informed the remaining families in the Qaqun neighborhood of the need to leave the camp and assaulted residents in the Abu al-Foul neighborhood as they attempted to enter their homes to collect essential supplies.
Meanwhile, occupation soldiers fired sound bombs and live bullets at women and children who attempted to return to the camp, in a dangerous escalation that exacerbates the suffering of residents who have been forced to flee their homes due to the ongoing aggression.
Yesterday, the occupation troops forced the remaining residents of the Maraba'a Hanoun neighborhood in the camp to forcibly evacuate their homes, amid threats and warnings of arresting anyone found there afterward.
They also forced five families in the Dhnaba suburb, near Tulkarm camp, to leave their homes at gunpoint, while the occupation forces turned the homes into military outposts.
Local sources reported that 200 families have been displaced from their homes in several neighborhoods in Tulkarm camp, particularly those on the outskirts, over the past two days due to the escalation of the occupation's aggression and threats to residents to leave their homes and not return.
In another violation, the occupation forces detained Red Crescent medical crews who attempted to enter the camp and assaulted volunteer paramedic Fathi Nasrallah, impeding their work in providing support to the residents inside, especially the sick and elderly.
The occupation forces also continued to raid homes and shops inside the camp, searching them, vandalizing and stealing their belongings, and converting several of them into military barracks.
Later on, infantry troops were deployed along the road between Nour Shams Camp and the Employees' Housing District in the Aktaba suburb east of the city, searching and combing citizens' homes and interrogating them.
At the same time, the occupation forces dispatched military reinforcements toward the city and its two camps, passing through its main streets.
They obstructed the movement of citizens and vehicles, particularly on Nablus Street, seizing several residential buildings and converting them into military barracks.
These attacks come within the ongoing escalation by the occupation forces in the city of Tulkarm and its two camps, which has resulted in the killing of 13 citizens, including a child and two women, one of whom was eight months pregnant.
Dozens have also been injured and detained, and more than 12,000 people have been forcibly displaced from Tulkarm Camp and another 12,000 from Nour Shams Camp.
The aggression also caused widespread destruction to the infrastructure, including water, electricity, sewage, and communications networks, as well as homes, shops, and vehicles, which were completely and partially demolished, burned, vandalized, looted, and stolen. The entrances and alleys of the camps were also closed off with earth mounds.
