Israeli occupation forces (IOF) have continued their escalating aggression on Tulkarem city and its camp for the 75th day in a row, and for the 62nd day on Nur Shams camp, amid military reinforcements, field escalation and arrests.
According to local sources, the IOF raided a number of citizens’ homes on the outskirts of the city, searched them, vandalized their contents, and arrested four of them, including former detainees.
The IOF also stormed a house belonging to the Hijazi family in Thenaba town, tampered with its contents and deliberately vandalized it. The IOF also deployed its vehicles in the streets of the town, set up flying checkpoints, searched citizens’ vehicles and checked the identities of the passengers.
The sources reported that IOF vehicles roamed the area of the southern neighborhood of the city, specifically on Al-Amouri Mosque Street and Omar bin Abdulaziz School Street, amid combing and search operations.
Last night, an IOF diesel tanker rammed light poles in the vicinity of Martyr Thabet Thabet Square in the city center, causing damage to them, and impeding the movement of vehicles, after it walked alongside a number of military vehicles, against the direction of traffic and ran over empty stalls scattered on the sidewalks.
Meanwhile, the IOF dispatched reinforcements of infantry squads, vehicles and bulldozers to Tulkarem and Nur Shams camps, accompanied by the firing of live bullets.
The IOF also stormed Al-Mahjar neighborhood, carried out raids and searches of houses, and detained a number of young men after taking them away and subjecting them to field investigation, before releasing them later, at a time when the camp is witnessing a suffocating siege, storming houses, vandalizing them, expelling their residents and preventing them from returning to them.
The occupation forces continue to seize houses and residential buildings in Nablus Street area and the northern neighborhood of the city, and turn them into military barracks with their vehicles stationed in their vicinity, restricting citizens movement and closing roads in both directions with the use of dirt berms.
