Israeli Occupation Continues Aggression on Tulkarm City, Camp for 77th Day

Tulkarm: The Israeli aggression on the city of Tulkarm and its refugee camp now entered its 77th day, with the assault on Nour Shams camp continuing for the 64th day, amid ongoing military escalation, heavy reinforcements, the forced displacement of residents, and the widespread deployment of military vehicles and infantry units.

According to Qatar News Agency, the Nour Shams camp witnessed heavy gunfire this morning, accompanied by the sound of explosions and a widespread deployment of occupation soldiers in the Jabal Al-Nasr area, amid a strict siege that prevents entry or exit from the camp.

Since the early morning hours, infantry units have been deployed extensively at the entrance to the Dhanaba suburb, near Al-Firdaws Mosque. The occupation set up a flying checkpoint there, preventing vehicles from passing and forcing them to turn back.

The ongoing Israeli aggression and escalation against the city of Tulkarm and its camps resulted in the deaths of 13 Palestinians, including a child and two women, one of whom was pregnant, in addition to the injury and arrest of dozens more.

It also resulted in the forced displacement of more than 4,000 families from Tulkarm and Nour Shams camp, along with dozens of families from the city's northern neighborhood after their homes were seized and converted into military barracks.

The aggression caused widespread 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 refugee camps, in addition to closing their entrances and alleys with barriers.
