Tulkarm – Saba:
Israeli enemy forces continued their aggression on the city of Tulkarm and its camp in occupied Palestine Saturday, for the 139th consecutive day, and for the 126th day on the Nur Shams camp, amid widespread field escalation, including a campaign of arrests and the ongoing demolition of Palestinian homes.
The official Palestinian News Agency reported that enemy forces continued to impose a tight siege on Tulkarm and Nur Shams camps and their surroundings. Infantry units and vehicles are deployed in the alleys, neighborhoods, and entrances, preventing residents from reaching their homes to inspect them or retrieve their belongings, while directly shooting at anyone who attempts to approach.
This morning, a 16-year-old child was injured by enemy bullets in the foot while trying to enter Tulkarm camp. He was transported in a Palestinian Red Crescent ambulance to Thabet Thabet Governmental Hospital.
For eight consecutive days, Tulkarm camp has witnessed the demolition of residential buildings in Balawneh, Akasha, and Nadi neighborhoods, using heavy bulldozers.
This is part of the enemy's plan to demolish 106 buildings in both Tulkarm and Nur Shams camps, including 58 buildings in Tulkarm camp alone, comprising more than 250 housing units and dozens of commercial establishments.
Over the past few weeks, Nur Shams camp has witnessed continuous demolitions of residential buildings, resulting in the demolition of more than 20 buildings. This is part of the enemy's plan to demolish 48 buildings in Nur Shams, under the pretext of opening roads and changing the geographical features of the two camps.
Israeli enemy forces continue to transform Nablus Street into military barracks by continuing to seize a number of residential buildings there, along with parts of the northern neighborhood of the city, specifically those facing Tulkarm camp, after forcibly evacuating their residents.
Some of these buildings have been under enemy control for more than four months, while Israeli enemy forces have deployed heavy machinery and bulldozers in their surroundings.
Nablus Street, which connects Tulkarm and Nur Shams refugee camps, has also suffered significant damage due to the earth mounds erected by Israeli enemy forces several months ago.
Their heavy presence and the installation of flying and sudden checkpoints impede vehicle movement and increase the suffering of Palestinian civilians.
The city of Tulkarm and its suburbs are also witnessing intense activity by Israeli vehicles and infantry units, with military reinforcements deployed around the clock.
These forces deliberately obstruct the movement of citizens and vehicles, provocatively sounding their horns and driving against traffic.
Israeli enemy forces arrested Palestinian citizens Bahaa Bassam Shadid and Muhammad Ibrahim Sakr after raiding their homes in the northern neighborhood of the city.
Israeli enemy forces also continued to close the iron gate at Anab military checkpoint at the eastern entrance to the city, preventing vehicles from passing. They are also present from time to time at the southern entrance to the city, specifically around Jabara Bridge gate, obstructing traffic and often closing the gate.
The ongoing Israeli aggression on the city and its two camps has so far resulted in the deaths of 13 civilians, including a child and two women, one of whom was eight months pregnant.
Dozens of injuries and arrests have also been reported, as well as widespread destruction of infrastructure, homes, shops, and vehicles.
According to the latest data, the escalation has displaced more than 5,000 families from the two camps, representing more than 25,000 citizens.
At least 400 homes have been completely destroyed, and 2,573 others have been partially damaged. The entrances to the camps remain blocked with barricades, transforming them into almost lifeless areas.
