TULKARM / PNN/
The Israeli occupation forces continue the aggression on the city of Tulkarm and its camp for the 51st consecutive day, and on the Nur Shams camp for the 38th day, amid military reinforcements, home demolitions, and the forced displacement of residents.
Media Sources reported that last night, the occupation forces continued to send military reinforcements, including heavy machinery and bulldozers, toward the city and its two camps.
Meanwhile, infantry units were deployed on the main streets, harassing residents and restricting vehicle movement. They also fired sound bombs to intimidate residents.
This morning, occupation bulldozers demolished homes and residential buildings in the Al-Ghraifat area in the Al-Manshiya neighborhood of Nur Shams camp. This is part of a plan to demolish homes to build roads within the camp and alter its geographic features, especially after residents were forcibly evacuated.
Local sources reported that occupation forces forced residents this morning to evacuate their homes in the Jabal al-Salihin neighborhood of Nur Shams camp, which has been under a tight siege, accompanied by widespread raids and vandalism of homes, and threats to force residents to evacuate. The camp has become almost empty of its residents, with more than 12,000 refugees displaced.
Tulkarm camp has witnessed a massive displacement of the remaining residents of its outlying neighborhoods, including Qaqun, Abu al-Ful, and Marbat Hanoun, after the occupation forced them to leave through threats and intimidation. Local sources reported that 200 families have been displaced from their homes over the past two days due to the escalation of the occupation's aggression and its threats to residents to leave their homes and not return.
Occupation forces are also deployed extensively throughout all neighborhoods, raiding empty homes, turning them into military barracks and sniper positions. They also raid shops, institutions, and mosques, vandalizing their contents and seizing some of them.
Occupation forces continue to seize several homes on Nablus Street, particularly those overlooking Tulkarm refugee camp, where their vehicles are positioned in the vicinity.
These attacks come amidst the ongoing escalation by occupation forces in Tulkarm and its two camps, which has resulted in the killing of 13 people, including a child and two women, one of whom was eight months pregnant. Dozens have also been injured and arrested, and more than 24,000 people have been forcibly displaced from the two camps.
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 seized. The entrances and alleys of the camps were also closed off with earth mounds.
