Tulkarm - Saba:

The Zionist enemy army continues its aggression against the city of Tulkarm and its camp for the 88th consecutive day, and for the 75th day against the Nour Shams camp, amid an ongoing escalation of field raids and home invasions.

The Palestinian News Agency reported that Zionist enemy forces launched a large-scale campaign of raids and home invasions last night and early Thursday morning in various areas of the city and its suburbs, accompanied by heavy firing of live ammunition and sound bombs.

It indicated that enemy forces raided the eastern neighborhoods near the Abu Safiya intersection, the northern neighborhood near the Younis roundabout, the employee housing in the Iktaba suburb, the entrance to the Dhanaba suburb, and the Rabaya neighborhood on the outskirts of Tulkarm camp, amid a heavy deployment of occupation soldiers around the targeted homes and buildings.

Enemy forces continue their siege of Nour Shams camp, deploying infantry squads around it and within its neighborhoods, amidst the firing of live ammunition and sound bombs. Meanwhile, residents of Jabal al-Nasr and Jabal al-Salihin are being forced to leave their homes after occupation soldiers forced them to evacuate their homes at gunpoint.

Tulkarm camp is also witnessing a heavy deployment of Zionist enemy soldiers, who have wreaked havoc and destruction on the property of its residents, expelling them and rendering the camp devoid of any signs of life. Its entrances are sealed off with earth mounds and some sections of its neighborhoods with barbed wire.

Meanwhile, the city of Tulkarm is witnessing a daily escalation in incursions and raids on its neighborhoods and markets. These raids include the deployment of foot and mobile vehicles, amid provocative and arbitrary measures against citizens, especially young men, including detention, abuse, and the confiscation of their IDs and mobile phones. They are often subjected to arrest.

The occupation also continues to seize homes and residential buildings on Nablus Street and the adjacent northern neighborhood, transforming them into military barracks after forcibly evacuating their residents. Its military vehicles and bulldozers are stationed in the vicinity.

The ongoing occupation aggression on the city of Tulkarm and its two 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.

It also resulted in the forced displacement of more than 4,200 families from the Tulkarm and Nour Shams camps, comprising more than 24,000 citizens, in addition to hundreds of citizens from the northern neighborhood of the city after their homes were seized and a number of them converted into military barracks.

The aggression caused extensive destruction to infrastructure, including homes, shops, and vehicles, which were completely and partially demolished, burned, vandalized, looted, and stolen. 396 homes were completely destroyed and 2,573 partially destroyed in the Tulkarm and Nour Shams camps, in addition to the closure of their entrances and alleys with earth mounds.
