Israel continues demolitions and siege in Tulkarm and Nour Shams camps
Israeli forces have kept up their military campaign in the occupied West Bank, targeting Tulkarm city and its refugee camps for yet another day.
According to Wafa, the Palestinian news agency, the Israeli army's presence in Tulkarm city has entered its 138th straight day, with operations in the nearby Nour Shams camp ongoing for the 125th day.
Homes continue to be torn down as part of what locals say is a sweeping demolition plan.
Bulldozers have been razing residential structures in central Tulkarm camp for the eighth day in a row. The campaign reportedly aims to demolish 106 buildings across the Tulkarm and Nour Shams camps. Of these, 58 are in Tulkarm alone, particularly in the Balawneh, Al-Akasha, and Al-Nadi neighbourhoods — the latter home to over 250 residences and dozens of businesses.
Meanwhile, a strict military cordon remains in place around both camps. Infantry units have taken up positions in alleyways, entrances, and residential areas, effectively barring residents from returning to their homes or salvaging their possessions.

US judge rejects release of pro-Palestinian activist Khalil
A US judge denied Mahmoud Khalil's request to be released from detention, after federal prosecutors changed their rationale for holding the Columbia graduate student as part of their crackdown on pro-Palestinian activists. Newark, New Jersey-based US District Judge Michael Farbiarz on Wednesday said the government could not use foreign policy interests to justify Khalil's detention. On Friday the government said it was also holding Khalil, a legal permanent resident of the United States, on a charge of immigration fraud. In response, Farbiarz said Khalil's lawyers had not successfully argued why it was unlawful for the government to hold him on the charge, which he has denied. The ruling marked the latest turn in Khalil's fight to be freed from a Louisiana detention center after his March arrest for involvement in the pro-Palestinian protest movement, which President Donald Trump has called antisemitic. His detention was condemned by civil rights groups as an attack on protected political speech. Marc Van Der Hout, a lawyer for Khalil, said the government practically never detained people for immigration fraud and the Syrian-born student was being punished for opposing Israel's U.S.-backed war in Gaza following Hamas' October 2023 attack. "Detaining someone on a charge like this is highly unusual and frankly outrageous," said Van Der Hout. "There continues to be no constitutional basis for his detention." Farbiarz had previously suggested legal residents like Khalil were rarely detained on the basis of immigration fraud. On Friday he said Khalil should seek bail from the immigration lawyer in his case. As lawyers for the Syrian-born activist sought his release, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, another immigrant targeted by the Trump administration, pleaded not guilty to migrant smuggling charges after his wrongful deportation. Khalil, a graduate student at Columbia's School of International and Public Affairs, was arrested by immigration agents in the lobby of his university residence in Manhattan on March 8. His US citizen wife, Dr Noor Abdalla, gave birth to the couple's first child while Khalil was detained in April. Ahead of Father's Day in the US, a group of celebrities including actors Mahershala Ali, Mark Ruffalo and Mo Amer, called for Khalil to be freed. They also sent him a video showing the celebrities reading aloud a letter that the activist had sent to his infant son. Reuters
