Occupied Quds - Saba:
The Zionist enemy forces continue their aggression on the city of Tulkarm and its camps for the 18th consecutive day, and its fifth day on Nour Shams camp, with the continuation of the siege, raids on homes, and forced displacement of Palestinians, accompanied by a wide campaign of arrests, destruction of infrastructure and property, and forcing thousands to flee their homes under the threat of weapons.
The Palestinian News Agency reported that the enemy forces arrested a number of Palestinian youths from the Dhnaba suburb east of the city at dawn on Thursday after raiding their homes.
Last night, they sent more military reinforcements to the city and its camps, and deployed infantry soldiers in the streets and neighborhoods, amidst extensive combing and search operations, concentrated in the eastern and northern neighborhoods of the city, in addition to the neighborhoods of the two camps.
The enemy forces also continue their siege of the eastern neighborhood of the city, seizing residential buildings and turning them into military barracks, and they also knock on the doors of homes, preventing Palestinians from leaving and moving, and restricting them inside their homes and even preventing them from opening the windows.
At the same time, the enemy forces fired live ammunition intensively and randomly in Tulkarm camp, while raiding homes and wreaking destruction and vandalism in them, while continuing to seize a number of them and turning them into military barracks and sniper locations.
The suffering of the Palestinians who have not left their homes on the outskirts of the camp is exacerbated as a result of the tight siege and continuous attacks on the camp. Their appeals for the delivery of food supplies, drinking water, medicines and baby milk continue, 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 Nour Shams camp, the enemy's bulldozers continue to demolish homes and destroy the infrastructure inside its neighborhoods, specifically Al-Manshiya, coinciding with the sounds of live bullets and huge explosions.
The demolition and destruction coincided with the Zionist enemy imposing a tight siege on the camp and its outskirts, turning it into a military barracks, raiding and vandalizing homes, and forcing their residents to leave them by threats and intimidation, at a time when the camp is witnessing a large wave of displacement of residents, including women, children and the elderly, enduring the hardships of moving on foot amidst the great destruction of the streets, rain and severe cold on the one hand, and the intimidation of the occupation, which is firing heavily on the other hand, exposing them to danger.
Yesterday, the Zionist enemy forces used the loudspeakers of the camp mosque in the Al-Ayada neighborhood to demand that residents evacuate their homes and leave them immediately.
In addition, the enemy forces continue to close the Jabara Bridge gate at the southern entrance to the city of Tulkarm, separating it from the villages of Al-Kafriyat for the sixth consecutive day.
