Tulkarm - Saba:
Israeli enemy forces continue their aggression against the city of Tulkarm and its camp in the northern occupied West Bank for the 92nd consecutive day, and for the 79th day against the Nour Shams camp.
Palestinian media reported that the continued Israeli aggression comes amid an ongoing escalation of raids, incursions, arrests, and the seizure of homes, exacerbating the suffering of Palestinian citizens.
They indicated that Israeli enemy forces continued to carry out large-scale raids in Tulkarm and its surrounding areas, coinciding with intensive movements of their foot and mobile patrols, amid an escalation in the field and attacks on citizens and their property.
Local Palestinian sources reported that Israeli forces stormed the Abu Laifa building in the eastern neighborhood near Tulkarm camp, in addition to other homes, and detained their residents for long hours.
They explained that the forces searched a number of residential apartments before forcing residents to leave the building, under the pretext that the area surrounding the homes was a closed military zone.
On Nablus Street, a Palestinian citizen in his seventies was injured with bruises after being assaulted by Israeli forces while trying to inspect his home. The soldiers set fire to it after deploying around the house, closing off Nablus Street and preventing the movement of vehicles and civilians.
The Palestinian Red Crescent Society reported that its crews transported the elderly man, Younis, to the hospital after being severely beaten by Israeli soldiers.
In the same context, Israeli soldiers deployed around the Shuweika roundabout north of the city, firing heavy gunfire and sound bombs, and seizing citizens and vehicles in the area.
Israeli forces arrested a young Palestinian man from Nour Shams camp while he was in the eastern neighborhood of the camp.
Eyewitnesses reported that Israeli forces raised their flag over the home of the Yazid Abu Diya family in Jabal al-Nasr in Nour Shams camp, which they have recently converted into a military barracks. They are tightening their siege on the camp and closing its entrances with earth mounds.
Israeli enemy forces continue to send military reinforcements to the city of Tulkarm, its suburbs, and its two refugee camps via the Shuweika roundabout and Al-Alimi Street from the Nitzanei Oz gate to the west, with an infantry force deployed in the Rashid neighborhood in the Dhanaba suburb.
The enemy continues its tight siege of the Nour Shams refugee camp, which is witnessing the forced displacement of residents of Jabal al-Nasr and Jabal al-Salihin after forcing them to evacuate their homes at gunpoint.
The city of Tulkarm is witnessing a daily escalation in raids and arrests, as part of its ongoing aggression against it, its two refugee camps, and its suburbs.
This escalation includes the deployment of foot and mobile vehicles in its main neighborhoods, the pursuit of young men, assaulting them with beatings, arresting them, and detaining them for long hours after confiscating their ID cards and mobile phones.
Over the course of 92 days of ongoing aggression, Israeli enemy forces completely destroyed 396 homes and partially destroyed 2,573 in the Tulkarm and Nour Shams refugee camps, in addition to blocking their entrances and alleys with earth mounds.
The ongoing aggression on the city of Tulkarm and its two camps resulted in the deaths of 13 Palestinian citizens, in addition to the injury and arrest of dozens.
It also resulted in the forced displacement of more than 4,000 families from the Tulkarm and Nour Shams camps, comprising more than 24,000 citizens, along with hundreds of citizens from the northern neighborhood of the city after their homes were seized and a number of them converted into military barracks.
In this context, the Tulkarm refugee camp is witnessing a heavy presence of enemy forces, who continue to bulldoze, vandalize, and destroy the demolished streets and citizens' property, and close its entrances with earth mounds and barbed wire.
The camp has become empty of its residents after they were forcibly displaced from their homes and converted into military barracks.
The Israeli enemy continues to seize homes and residential buildings on Nablus Street and the adjacent northern neighborhood, converting them into military barracks after forcibly evacuating their residents. Israeli forces position their vehicles and bulldozers around them.

Gaza: Occupier turns aid distribution centers into collective death snares
Gaza - Saba: The Government Media Office in the Gaza Strip said on Tuesday that the Israeli enemy had turned "US-Israeli aid distribution centers" into mass death traps and bloodbaths. In a statement received by the Yemeni News Agency (Saba), the office confirmed that this had led to the death toll from starvation rising to 102 martyrs and 490 wounded in just eight days. It reported that in a horrific, intentionally repeated crime, Israeli enemy forces committed a new massacre on Tuesday near the US-Israeli aid center in Rafah Governorate, resulting in the deaths of 27 starving civilians and the wounding of more than 90 others with varying degrees of injury. The Office pointed out that this massacre brought the death toll at these "centers" to 102 martyrs and 490 wounded since they began operating in the Rafah and Wadi Gaza Bridge areas on May 27. This is part of a dubious project run under the supervision of the "Israeli" enemy and promoted under the guise of a "humanitarian response," while killing is being carried out in public and on live television, and systematic genocide is being perpetrated. The Office emphasized that the so-called "aid distribution centers," which are established in exposed and dangerous red zones under the control of the enemy army, have turned into mass bloodbaths, luring starving civilians to them due to the crippling famine and the tight siege. They are then deliberately and coldly shot, in a scene that epitomizes the malice of the project and exposes its true objectives. It pointed out that these points are not subject to any independent humanitarian oversight, but are security-managed by the "Israeli" enemy and an American security company, making them killing points under a false humanitarian cover. International law classifies them as sites of war crimes and crimes against humanity. The Government Media Office condemned, in the strongest terms, the perpetration of these massacres against starving civilians, holding the Israeli enemy fully responsible for these ongoing massacres carried out under the guise of "aid." It also held the US administration, which politically and on the ground supports this bloody project, directly responsible for the use of food as a weapon in the ongoing genocide in Gaza. The Office pointed out that the daily recurrence of massacres at distribution centers, in broad daylight, and with shocking numbers of martyrs and wounded, reveals to the world that what is happening is the deliberate use of aid as a tool for mass murder and ethnic cleansing, which amounts to the crime of genocide under Article II of the 1948 Genocide Convention. The Office called on the United Nations, the Security Council, and human rights organizations to assume their moral and legal responsibilities, take immediate action, and exert pressure by all available means to open official crossings without interference or conditions from the Israeli enemy. It also called for the delivery of humanitarian aid through UN institutions and neutral international organizations, far removed from this murderous "Israeli"-American model. The Office called for the urgent formation of an independent international investigation committee to document these massacres and bring their perpetrators to international justice, warning against the consequences of international silence, which gives the green light to further massacres. The Office affirmed its categorical rejection of the so-called "buffer zones" or "humanitarian corridors" established by the enemy, considering these projects to be bloody traps aimed at gathering civilians in mass killing points, then shooting them daily and killing them without warning and in complete disregard for the most basic principles of international humanitarian law. It stated that the continuation of these crimes, amid shameful international silence, is a stain on humanity and proves that the enemy continues to commit the most heinous forms of genocide before the world's cameras, without deterrence or accountability.
