Jenin - Saba:
The Israeli occupation army continues its aggression on the city of Jenin and its camp in the northern occupied West Bank for the 34th consecutive day.
The ongoing aggression has left 27 martyrs, dozens of injuries and arrests, and widespread destruction of property and infrastructure.
The occupation forces stormed the town of Qabatiya, south of Jenin, bulldozed its streets, and destroyed its infrastructure, including electricity and water lines.
Local sources reported that the occupation army sent military reinforcements towards the town of Qabatiya.
They explained that the occupation forces declared a curfew in the town of Qabatiya for 48 hours.
They stated that the forces cut off the road leading to the city of Jenin at the entrance to the town, and deployed snipers on the roofs of buildings, after raiding citizens' homes and interrogating them.
In turn, the Minister of the occupation army, Yisrael Katz, said: About 40 thousand residents of the Jenin, Tulkarm and Nour Shams camps in the northern West Bank were "evacuated", and they are almost empty.
He added, "I issued my instructions to the army to remain in these areas during the current year and ensure that the residents do not return to them."
On Saturday, the occupier isolated the homes of citizens west of the Jenin camp with barbed wire, after forcing them to evacuate them.
The occupation sent large military reinforcements from the Jalameh military checkpoint, accompanied by bulldozers, to the city and entrances of the camp.
Since the beginning of the aggression, the occupation has destroyed citizens' homes and properties, and has greatly changed the features and geography of the camp, and opened roads and streets in some neighborhoods, and expanded streets in other neighborhoods.
Infantry squads of occupation soldiers have been deployed in several areas of Jenin camp, near Shireen Abu Akleh roundabout, Talat al-Ghabz, and the new camp.
Since the beginning of the aggression, the occupation has continued to seize a number of citizens' homes and turn them into military barracks, especially in buildings near and overlooking Jenin camp.
According to sources in the Jenin Municipality and the Jenin Camp Services Center, the occupation has completely demolished about 120 homes, in addition to partially demolishing dozens of them, along with properties.
Estimates indicate that the number of detainees in Jenin has reached about 160 detainees.
In the same context, the occupation forces continue their aggression on the city of Tulkarm and its camp for the 28th consecutive day, and on Nour Shams camp for the 15th day, amid military reinforcements.
Local sources reported that the occupation forces sent military reinforcements of heavy vehicles and bulldozers to Tulkarm city from the direction of the "Nitzani Oz" military checkpoint west of the city, and headed towards Nablus Street opposite the northern entrance to the camp.
The forces raided empty houses and destroyed their contents, and re-seized a number of them and turned them into military barracks and deployed snipers inside them, amidst the sounds of live ammunition being heard heavily.
Tulkarm camp is witnessing massive and unprecedented destruction of the infrastructure caused by the occupation bulldozers, which affected the electricity, water, sewage and communications networks, public and private property, and the accompanying demolition of more than 14 homes over the past few days.
In Nour Shams camp, the occupation forces are still deployed in a number of its neighborhoods that were subjected to destruction and vandalism, especially in Al-Manshiya, Al-Shuhada, Al-Jami' and Al-Joura, and raided the homes there, after blowing up their doors and parts of them, and destroying their contents and abusing their residents and subjecting them to interrogation.
In the same context, the occupation forces seized two residential buildings belonging to the Al-Dado and Al-Zaghal families opposite Tulkarm camp, and conducted a wide-ranging search operation inside them and subjected the residents to interrogation and abuse, before forcing them to evacuate them and turning them into military barracks and sniper locations.
Citizens who are still inside their homes on the outskirts of Tulkarm camp, and inside some neighborhoods of Nour Shams camp, are appealing to secure the arrival of their basic needs of food, water, medicine and baby milk, which are accompanied by the interruption of electricity, water and communications services, and preventing them from leaving and moving, which deepens their suffering, according to the Palestinian Safa Agency.
