Tulkarm - Saba:
The Zionist enemy continued its aggression on the city of Tulkarm and its camp, for the 17th consecutive day, and its fourth day on the Nour Shams camp, amidst the ongoing siege, house raids, and forced displacement of residents, accompanied by a wide-scale arrest campaign.
The Palestinian News Agency, WAFA, said that the occupation forces sent more military reinforcements towards the city and its camps last night, and deployed infantry in various areas and neighborhoods, amidst heavy live ammunition and low-flying reconnaissance aircraft.
In the city of Tulkarm, the Israeli occupation forces arrested, late last night, a number of displaced citizens from the Tulkarm and Nour Shams camps, after raiding the "new" Othman bin Affan Mosque in the center of the city, and removing the displaced people present in it, and investigating them in the field, before arresting them. They also arrested the young man Bader Hakam Hijazi from his home in the city.
In the early hours of this morning, the occupation forces arrested two women east of Tulkarm after raiding their homes: Ruba Al-Saed "Bassi" (45 years old) from the town of Ramin, and Sireen Saidi from the town of Beit Lid.
A young man (19 years old) was injured by the occupation forces' bullets in the town of Kafr Al-Labad east of Tulkarm, after they surrounded one of the houses there and he was transferred to the hospital.
The occupation forces are still imposing a siege on the eastern neighborhood of Tulkarm, especially the area near its camp, and are seizing three buildings there as military barracks and sniper positions, and preventing citizens from leaving their homes to secure their basic needs or even appear on windows and balconies.
The residents of this neighborhood continue to appeal to all responsible parties, including the Red Cross and the Red Crescent, to take urgent action to check on the conditions of the families, provide food supplies and health services, especially for the elderly and those with chronic diseases, and facilitate the movement of citizens.
In addition, Nour Shams camp witnessed a new wave of mass displacement of dozens of families, under threat and intimidation from the occupation, amidst the firing of live ammunition and the sound of explosions from time to time.
The occupation forces raid citizens' homes, search them, destroy their contents, subject their residents to field investigation and abuse, and arrest a number of them.
The occupation bulldozers also continue to bulldoze and destroy the infrastructure and property in various neighborhoods of the camp, starting from Jabal al-Nasr, al-Salihin, al-Manshiya, and al-Maslakh, reaching the internal neighborhoods, in addition to bulldozing Nablus Street along the camp entrances and completely destroying it, and blew up three houses.
In Tulkarm camp, the occupation forces intensified their military presence and deployed infantry inside the camp's neighborhoods and empty homes, turning them into military barracks, amidst heavy live bullets, and burned a house belonging to the al-Awfi family in the Hanoun Square neighborhood.
The occupation forces continued to seize additional homes and residential buildings around the camp, specifically in the northern and eastern neighborhoods of the city, and turned them into military barracks and sniper locations.
Citizens who did not leave their homes on the outskirts of the camp appealed for the delivery of food supplies, drinking water, medicines and baby milk, in light of the worsening humanitarian suffering as a result of the interruption of all basic services, including water, electricity and communications, after the occupation destroyed the camp's infrastructure.
In addition, the occupation continues to close the gate of the Jabara Bridge at the southern entrance to the city of Tulkarm, separating it from the villages of Al-Kafriyat for the fifth consecutive day.
