Tulkarm - Saba:
Israeli enemy forces continue their aggression on the city of Tulkarm and its camp for the 115th consecutive day, and for the 102nd day on the Nur Shams camp, amidst escalating attacks on the ground and intensive military reinforcements.
The Palestinian WAFA News Agency reported that the enemy continues its escalation on the ground through repeated incursions into the city and the two camps, using its military vehicles to move around the neighborhoods and main streets around the clock, provocatively sounding vehicle horns and driving against traffic. They also set up surprise checkpoints, particularly in the city center, Nablus Street, and Shuweika Roundabout in the northern neighborhood.
At dawn, a squad of infantry soldiers stormed the Dhnaba suburb east of the city, coming from the Nour Shams camp. They patrolled the main streets, conducting extensive searches and combing operations, and arrested the young man, Amara Mar'i, from his home in the Rashid neighborhood in the area.

This escalation has led to the displacement of more than 4,200 families from the two camps, representing over 25,000 citizens. It has also led to the complete destruction of more than 400 homes and the partial destruction of 2,573 others. The entrances and alleys of the two camps have been closed off with earth mounds, transforming them into isolated areas almost devoid of life.
