The Israeli enemy forces continue their aggression on the city of Tulkarm and its camp for the 33rd consecutive day and on the Nour Shams camp for the 20th day, amid military reinforcements, raids and burning of homes.

Local sources reported that the enemy forces sent military reinforcements to the city and towards Tulkarm and Nour Shams camps tonight, and patrolled the streets and alleys and positioned themselves along Nablus Street linking the two camps, while they are still seizing residential buildings on the aforementioned street and turning them into military barracks and deploying snipers inside them.

The enemy continues to impose a tight siege on Tulkarm and Nour Shams camps, preventing entry or exit, and deploying infantry squads inside neighborhoods and alleys, while raiding homes, vandalizing them and destroying their contents, while its snipers are firing live bullets intensively in the Jabal al-Nasr and al-Salihin areas in Nour Shams camp, and burning the home of citizen Ahmed al-Abd al-Bata in Jabal al-Salihin, causing severe damage to it.

During the ongoing aggression on the city and its two camps, the enemy forces have caused great and complete destruction to the infrastructure of electricity, water, sewage and communications networks, which has led to the interruption of basic services to the entire Tulkarm and Nour Shams camps, and has exacerbated the suffering of citizens who are still in their homes.

The military bulldozers also left behind unprecedented destruction in roads and residential neighborhoods, in addition to the complete and partial destruction of properties, including homes and shops.

The latest was the complete demolition of 26 buildings in Tulkarm camp, causing severe damage to the surrounding buildings and facilities, and the enemy notifying of its intention to demolish 11 homes in Nour Shams camp in the coming days, under the pretext of paving roads that cut through several neighborhoods.

The ongoing aggression also led to the displacement of approximately 12,000 citizens from Tulkarm camp and more than 5,000 citizens from Nour Shams camp, who were forced by the enemy forces and are still forcing others to leave their homes by force and under threat of arms, while 13 citizens were martyred, including a child and two women, one of whom is eight months pregnant.

The appeals of citizens who are still in their homes and living in difficult and harsh conditions continue, to secure the arrival of their basic needs of food, water, medicine and baby milk, and to work on repairing the water and electricity networks.
