According to WAFA correspondent, an Israeli special unit broke into the city, sparking confrontations with with youths, during which Hadayda and al-Hosary were shot in the chest, and later taken to the hospital, where they were pronounced dead.
During the ongoing aggression against Tulkarm camp, 12 youths were injured by bullets from occupation snipers deployed on the roofs of houses and buildings, including four wounded in critical condition, according to the Ministry of Health.
The occupation forces initially prevented ambulances from entering the Tulkarm refugee camp, and obstructed their work by stopping them and thoroughly inspecting them, before they were able to reach the injured and transfer them to the hospital.
The occupation forces detained injured youth Medhat Abu Amsha from the ambulance while he was being transferred to the hospital.
A bulldozer razed Al-Madares Street at the entrance to the camp, and destroyed its infrastructure, while the occupation forces stormed a number of citizens’ homes in the area, and mounted their roofs, firing live bullets at everything that moved.
The occupation bulldozer also destroyed part of Al-Quds Open University Street in the city, which is close to the camp.
The occupation forces besieged Tulkarm camp by deploying soldiers at all its entrances, in addition to the neighborhoods of Tulkarm city leading to the camp, specifically Nablus and Maslakh Streets, the eastern and northern neighborhoods, Al-Muqata’a Street, Al-Quds Open University Street, Shweika and Aktaba roundabouts, and the outskirts of the Thanaba suburb adjacent to the camp.
This is the second incursion into the camp within a week, which saw the killing of four young men by special forces, and wounding of six citizens, while destroying the infrastructure of its streets and alleys.
The national and Islamic forces in Tulkarm mourned the six slain Palestinians and announced a comprehensive strike today that affects all aspects of life, to mourn the souls of the dead and to denounce the crimes and massacres of the occupation.
With the killing of the seven youths, the death toll in Tulkarm since the start of the Israeli aggression on the 7th of last October rises to 32.
