Tulkarm - Saba:
The Israeli army continues The Zionist enemy has been attacking the city of Tulkarm and its camp for the 56th consecutive day, and for the 43rd day in Nour Shams camp, amid escalating forced evictions and repeated raids, accompanied by widespread destruction of infrastructure.
The Palestinian News Agency reported that this morning, Zionist forces forced residents of 10 homes in the Rabaia neighborhood in Tulkarm camp to leave their homes, giving them until 10:30 AM to evacuate.
This action comes after Zionist enemy forces evacuated the Muqata'a neighborhood in the camp yesterday, seizing residents' homes and turning them into military barracks, leading to a wave of forced displacement among the residents.
This escalation comes as a continuation of the forced displacement that has been taking place in the camp for days in the neighborhoods on its outskirts, namely: Qaqun, Abu al-Ful, Marbat Hanoun, al-Hadaida, al-Matar, al-Muqata'a, and al-Raba'a. The residents were forced to leave by the occupation forces through threats and intimidation. The camp has become almost empty of its residents, with more than 12,000 refugees displaced.
In the same context, the enemy forces continue their military escalation in the Tulkarm and Nour Shams camps amidst a tight siege. They have deployed more vehicles, bulldozers, and infantry units into the neighborhoods and alleys, accompanied by extensive destruction of the destroyed infrastructure and the closure of entrances with rubble and earth mounds.
The Israeli enemy army bulldozers have bulldozed a section of the employee housing street in the Aktaba suburb east of the city, specifically the area opposite Nour Shams camp, causing damage to the infrastructure and the water network supplying the area.
Meanwhile, Israeli forces continue to seize more than eight residential buildings in the vicinity of the traffic circle in the northern neighborhood adjacent to Nablus Street in Tulkarm.
These buildings contain dozens of apartments, forcing their residents to evacuate them. The buildings have been converted into military barracks, and the area has been transformed into a closed military zone.
Meanwhile, Israeli forces have intensified their military presence on Nablus Street, parts of which have been closed off with earth mounds.
They have also implemented measures to restrict the movement of vehicles and citizens, including stopping and searching vehicles and detaining passengers for extended periods after checking their IDs and mobile phones.
They have also raided several shops, subjecting them to searches and interrogating their employees.
The ongoing escalation by Israeli forces in the city of Tulkarm and its two refugee camps has resulted in the deaths of 13 citizens, including a child and two women, one of whom was eight months pregnant.
Dozens have also been injured and arrested, and more than 24,000 people have been forcibly displaced from the Tulkarm and Nour Shams refugee camps, along with dozens of families from the city's northern neighborhood.
The Israeli aggression has also caused widespread destruction, including the entire infrastructure, homes, shops, and vehicles, which have been subjected to complete or partial demolition, arson, vandalism, looting, and theft.
The entrances and alleys of the camps have also been closed off with earth mounds.
