Tulkarm - Saba:
The Zionist enemy forces continue their aggression against the city of Tulkarm and its camp for the 45th consecutive day, and for the 32nd day against the Nour Shams camp, amid an unprecedented military escalation that includes heavy reinforcements, a tight siege, and widespread raids on homes, including arrests and the forced displacement of Palestinian citizens at gunpoint.
The Palestinian News Agency, WAFA, reported that this morning, the enemy forces forcibly forced several families in the Jabal al-Nasr neighborhood of the Nour Shams camp to leave their homes after raiding them, amid intense gunfire to terrorize the residents. Meanwhile, other homes were converted into military barracks.
In parallel, the enemy forces deployed foot patrols around the camp, while their bulldozers leveled another stretch of Nablus Street adjacent to its entrance, destroying infrastructure and citizens' property.
Meanwhile, Tulkarm camp witnessed a heavy presence of military vehicles and infantry units, which, late last night, began burning homes in the Dabbat Umm Juhar area in the Balawneh neighborhood. Explosions were heard, accompanied by heavy gunfire. Meanwhile, Israeli bulldozers began bulldozing several areas, including the al-Wakala and al-Hamam neighborhoods, targeting shops, homes, and infrastructure.
The WAFA news agency quoted eyewitnesses as saying that Israeli soldiers were robbing shops in Tulkarm camp after bulldozing their doors and vandalizing their contents. They also pursued citizens who tried to reach their homes, forcing them to undress and abusing them at gunpoint.
In a related development, Israeli military vehicles deployed after midnight last night throughout the city's streets and neighborhoods, including the southern neighborhood, the street near the Martyr Thabet Thabet Governmental Hospital, Nablus Street, and the outskirts of Dhenaba Shuweika, Artah, Iktaba, and al-Azab.
Local Palestinian sources reported that the enemy forces arrested Ahmed Raafat Ali Zayet from Shuwaika, Muhab Al-Attar from Ezbet Al-Jarad, and Abdul Rahman Awda from the Dhnaba suburb, after raiding their homes and vandalizing their contents.
Israeli military vehicles also stormed the Cultural Sports Club in the northern neighborhood of the city, which houses displaced persons from the Tulkarm and Nour Shams camps. They were stationed at its gate and surrounding areas, with no arrests reported.
Israeli soldiers searched vehicles in the Iktaba suburb, specifically in the employee housing neighborhood opposite the Nour Shams camp. They abused passengers and subjected them to field investigations.
Israeli forces reinforced their military presence with heavy machinery and bulldozers in front of the houses they seized on Nablus Street, which connects the Tulkarm and Nour Shams camps. They transformed these houses into military barracks and set up mobile checkpoints to restrict the movement of citizens.
The ongoing Zionist aggression on the city and camps has so far resulted in the deaths of 13 Palestinian civilians, including a child and two women, one of whom is eight months pregnant. Dozens have also been injured and arrested, and more than 9,000 people have been forcibly displaced from Nour Shams camp and 12,000 from Tulkarm camp. This has also resulted in the widespread destruction of infrastructure, homes, and businesses, which have been partially or completely demolished, burned, and vandalized.
