Tulkarm - Saba:
Israeli enemy forces continue their aggression against the city of Tulkarm and its refugee camp for the 81st consecutive day, and for the 68th day against the Nour Shams refugee camp, amid ongoing escalation on the ground, intensive military reinforcements, raids, and arrests.
The Palestinian News Agency reported that Israeli forces dispatched military reinforcements, including vehicles, bulldozers, and infantry units, to the city, its two refugee camps, and its suburbs, amid raids and searches in several neighborhoods and homes, accompanied by heavy firing of sound bombs.
Enemy vehicles patrolled several neighborhoods within the city, most notably: Martyr Thabet Thabet Government Hospital Street, the center of the vegetable market, the eastern neighborhood, Nablus Street, and Courts Street, where vehicle traffic was frequently blocked and prevented from passing.
Zionist enemy forces arrested the young man, Islam Sudani, after raiding his home in the eastern neighborhood of the city. Just before midnight last night, an infantry force stormed the Iktaba suburb from the direction of Nour Shams Camp, deploying in the Employees' Housing neighborhood, conducting house-to-house searches and firing sound bombs at vehicles passing through the Iktaba roundabout.
They arrested the young man, Wahbi Al-Jarmi, from his vehicle and took him away.
They also raided the home of Maysara Abu Dharifa in the Housing neighborhood, searching it and ransacking its contents.
They also destroyed surveillance cameras in several homes in the area.
In a related development, Israeli forces raided a number of civilian homes on the western outskirts of Nour Shams camp, forcibly forcing the Al-Omar, Abu Sreis, and Al-Mallah families to evacuate their homes.
Meanwhile, the camp is witnessing a daily forced displacement campaign targeting its residents in the Jabal Al-Saleheen and Jabal Al-Nasr neighborhoods.
Throughout last night and early this morning, Tulkarm camp witnessed a heavy deployment of Israeli occupation soldiers, who wreaked havoc and destroyed homes and their contents after raiding them, including those vacated by their forcible displacement.
They fired live ammunition and sound bombs, concentrating their attacks on the airport neighborhood.
They also arrested Fares Hadaydeh from his home. At the same time, Nablus Street, which connects Tulkarm and Nour Shams camps, has witnessed a heavy deployment of Israeli occupation forces, restricting residents' movement and exacerbating their suffering.
The occupation forces closed off sections of the road with earth mounds in both directions, erected roadblocks along the road, and prevented vehicles from passing.
The occupation forces also continue to seize homes and residential buildings on Nablus Street and the adjacent northern neighborhood, after forcibly evacuating their residents.
Their vehicles and bulldozers are stationed in the vicinity.
The ongoing Israeli aggression and escalation against the city of Tulkarm and its two camps resulted in the deaths of 13 citizens, including a child and two women, one of whom was eight months pregnant.
Dozens were also injured and arrested.
It also resulted in the forced displacement of more than 4,000 families from the Tulkarm and Nour Shams camps, along with hundreds of citizens from the northern neighborhood of the city after their homes were seized and several were converted into military barracks.
The aggression caused widespread destruction to the infrastructure, including homes, shops, and vehicles, which were subjected to total and partial demolition, burning, vandalism, looting, and theft.
A total of 396 homes were completely destroyed and 2,573 were partially destroyed in the Tulkarm and Nour Shams camps.
Their entrances and alleys were also blocked with earth mounds.
