TULKAREM, (PIC)
Israeli occupation forces (IOF) continued their aggression against the city of Tulkarem and its camp for the 102nd consecutive day, and for the 89th day on the Nur Shams camp east of the city, amid an ongoing escalation of raids, searches, and home demolitions and infrastructure.
The Israeli aggression and its ongoing escalation against Tulkarem city and its two camps have resulted in the martyrdom of 13 citizens, including a child and two women, one of whom was eight months pregnant, in addition to the injury and arrest of dozens.
The aggression has also caused the forced displacement of more than 4,200 families from the Tulkarem and Nur Shams camps, comprising more than 25,000 citizens, and the complete destruction of more than 400 homes and partial destruction of 2,573 others.
Local sources reported that the IOF deployed in large numbers in the early hours of Thursday morning in the Nur Shams camp and its vicinity, setting up military checkpoints at its entrance on Nablus Street and imposing severe restrictions on residents of houses threatened with demolition.
The sources revealed that the IOF notified last night of the demolition of 15 new buildings in the camp in three areas, each containing a number of residential apartments, and gave families two hours to evacuate their homes in the morning, each area separately and at different times.
This escalation comes after the IOF had notified last Thursday of the demolition of 106 buildings and houses in the two camps, including 58 buildings in the Tulkarem camp and 48 houses in the Nur Shams camp.
The Popular Services Committee in Nur Shams announced that the number of buildings and homes demolished by the IOF over the past three days exceeded 48, distributed in the neighborhoods of Manshiyya, Al-Maslakh, Al-Ayada, and Al-Jama’a, displacing dozens of families amid widespread and comprehensive destruction of property and infrastructure.
