Ongoing Raids & bulldozing & demolition of homes
Tulkarm - (Saba): The Tulkarm Media Committee stated that Israeli enemy forces are continuing their widespread aggression in the city of Tulkarm and its camp for the 124th consecutive day, and for the 111th day in the Nur Shams camp. This aggression includes ongoing raids, bulldozing, and demolishing homes, pursuing citizens, and obstructing their entry to their homes. The committee added in a statement on Friday that enemy forces have raided several towns in Tulkarm in recent hours, and that occupation soldiers have deployed heavily on the main and side streets, simultaneously obstructing the movement of citizens and vehicles, and firing sound bombs and tear gas at them. The committee noted that enemy bulldozers are continuing their home demolitions in the Nur Shams camp, as part of a plan to demolish 106 residential buildings in Tulkarm, including 48 in the Nur Shams camp. It noted that enemy forces fired live ammunition at citizens and press crews while they were in the wooded area opposite the camp. The city of Tulkarm is witnessing intense activity by Israeli occupation vehicles and infantry units, patrolling the main streets and neighborhoods, sounding their horns in a provocative manner, driving against traffic, and setting up surprise checkpoints, particularly in the center of the market and around the Martyr Thabet Thabet Governmental Hospital. The committee explained that, in recent hours, Israeli forces notified residents of 58 buildings in Tulkarm camp of immediate demolition orders, paving the way for their evacuation. These buildings contain more than 250 housing units. The committee added that the Israeli occupation forces have designated only four entrances and exits for the owners of the homes threatened with demolition, giving them a very limited period of time. The committee noted that the Israeli occupation army is seizing homes and residential buildings on Nablus Street and the adjacent northern neighborhood after forcibly evacuating their residents and converting them into military barracks. Some of these buildings have been under Israeli occupation control for more than two months. The ongoing enemy aggression in Tulkarm has resulted in the deaths of 13 civilians, including a child and two women, one of whom was eight months pregnant. Dozens have also been wounded and detained, and the widespread destruction of infrastructure, homes, shops, and vehicles has been a result of demolition, arson, and looting. The enemy's crimes have displaced more than 4,200 families from the two camps, representing over 25,000 citizens. The attacks have also resulted in the complete destruction of more than 400 homes and the partial destruction of 2,573 others. The entrances and alleys of the camps have also been sealed off with earth mounds. Whatsapp Telegram Email Print more of (International)

Jenin Camp Declared Uninhabitable as Israeli Aggression Escalates Across West Bank
Israeli occupation forces continue their aggression across multiple areas in the occupied West Bank. The Al-Quds Brigades – Tubas Battalion announced on Saturday that its fighters in Tammoun engaged Zionist troops, unleashing heavy gunfire during an incursion into the town south of Tubas. Reports indicated intermittent gunfire was heard as occupation forces stormed the area. A Palestinian was killed during gunfire exchange with the Israeli occupation forces in Tamoun village, southern Tubas. — Eye on Palestine (@EyeonPalestine) March 29, 2025 The municipality of Jenin reported on Saturday that Israeli occupation forces have completely or partially destroyed approximately 600 homes, in addition to obliterating the infrastructure of Jenin refugee camp. The relentless assault has now entered its 68th consecutive day, leaving vast devastation in its wake. Meanwhile, the Tulkarm Media Committee highlighted the dire humanitarian conditions resulting from the ongoing Israeli offensive. With over two months of continuous military operations in Tulkarm and its refugee camp—and 49 days in Nur Shams camp—more than 4,000 families remain displaced. As Eid Al-Fitr approaches, these families face severe hardship, unable to return to their homes. Israeli media outlet Walla revealed that the Israeli occupation army has intensified its engineering operations in northern West Bank refugee camps. The army's Central Command has reportedly decided to dismantle these camps as fortified strongholds, aiming to convert them into regular urban neighborhoods in Jenin and Tulkarm. The Tulkarm Media Committee reported that Israeli occupation forces forcibly expelled more families from the Hadaida and Rabaia neighborhoods at gunpoint while seizing dozens of homes and converting them into military outposts. Since the beginning of the assault on Tulkarm and Nur Shams camps, nearly 3,000 homes have been destroyed to varying degrees, accompanied by systematic infrastructure destruction. Israeli occupation forces also deployed additional reinforcements, including heavy machinery and bulldozers, into Nur Shams camp, tightening their siege while conducting raids and searches. In the Tulkarm camp, troops carried out house-to-house incursions, destroying property and intensifying their military presence in alleyways. The ongoing Israeli assault on Tulkarm and its refugee camps has resulted in the deaths of 13 Palestinians, including a child and two women—one of whom was eight months pregnant. Scores of others have been wounded or arrested, while thousands remain forcibly displaced. The Jenin municipality stressed that the refugee camp is now uninhabitable, with essential infrastructure—water, electricity, sewage, and roads—reduced to rubble. According to the camp's media committee, over 3,250 housing units have been rendered unlivable due to relentless Israeli bombardment. ⚡️Jenin Municipality (West Bank): The occupation has destroyed around 600 homes and the entire infrastructure in Jenin refugee camp, rendering the area uninhabitable. — Warfare Analysis (@warfareanalysis) March 29, 2025 Meanwhile, occupation forces maintain a suffocating blockade on Jenin, a city home to approximately 360,000 Palestinians, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis in both the city and the refugee camp. In a separate development, Palestinian sources reported that Israeli occupation forces stormed the town of Sa'ir, north of Hebron, while also raiding the village of Jinba in Masafer Yatta, south of Hebron, earlier in the day.
