Tulkarm - Saba:
The Zionist enemy forces continue their aggression on the city of Tulkarm and its camp for the 29th consecutive day, and on the Nour Shams camp for the 16th day, amid military reinforcements, continued house raids, and targeting of infrastructure.
The Palestinian News Agency reported that the occupation forces sent additional military reinforcements to the city of Tulkarm and its camps, "Tulkarm and Nour Shams", and deployed infantry squads in the streets and neighborhoods, while continuing to raid and search citizens' homes, vandalize and destroy their contents, and even empty homes, turning them into military barracks.
The occupation forces are still imposing a complete siege on Tulkarm and Nour Shams camps, preventing entry or exit from them, and obstructing the work of relief crews while trying to deliver food and essential supplies to residents who remained in their homes in some of the camps' neighborhoods, amid daily appeals to secure the arrival of their basic needs of food, water, medicine and baby milk.
Eyewitnesses told the agency that after searching and investigating the families still in their homes inside Tulkarm camp, it was found that they are distributed in the neighborhoods of Al-Hadaida, Al-Hamam, Qaqun, Abu Al-Foul, and Al-Rabaia, and one family in the Al-Madaris neighborhood, and another in the Daba Umm Jawhar area, and the majority of them are women, the elderly and children, as they suffer from harsh and difficult living conditions amid the siege and destruction, and the interruption of electricity, water and communications services, and preventing them from leaving and moving, which deepens the extent of their suffering and exposes them to danger.
In Nour Shams camp, the occupation forces are still deployed in a number of its neighborhoods that are surrounded by destruction and vandalism, especially in Al-Manshiya, Al-Shuhada, Al-Jami and Al-Joura, raiding homes, destroying their contents, abusing their residents and subjecting them to interrogation amid threats and intimidation.
The occupation forces also intensified their military presence with heavy machinery and bulldozers along Nablus Street that connects Tulkarm and Nour Shams camps, especially around residential buildings that they seize and turn into military barracks, obstructing the movement of vehicles, subjecting them to inspection and interrogation of their passengers, and in many cases abusing them.
In the context, the occupation forces deployed in the city streets, obstructing the movement of citizens and vehicles that they deliberately damaged, while raiding shops in the southern neighborhood, abusing their owners and detaining them for hours before releasing them.
The occupation forces also stormed the Dhnaba suburb east of the city and toured its neighborhoods, amid searches and combing at several intersections in it, without reporting any arrests.
The occupation forces continue to close the gate of the Jabara checkpoint at the southern entrance to the city of Tulkarm for the 17th consecutive day, isolating the city from the villages and towns of Al-Kafriyat, and the rest of the West Bank governorates.
