TULKARM, Monday, July 1 2024 (WAFA) – the Israeli occupation forces blew up a house in Nour Shams refugee camp, east of the city of Tulkarm, causing extensive destruction to its infrastructure and residents’ properties during their large-scale aggression against the camp, which lasted for seven hours.

The occupation forces, accompanied by military tanks and bulldozers, blew up a house belonging to two siblings, causing fire to break out inside the targeted house.

The forces further prevented civil defense crews from reaching the targeted house.

Local sources said that the occupation forces accompanied by military tanks and vehicles broke into the camp and imposed a strict siege on it, preventing people from leaving or entering the camp. 

 The forces further deployed their snipers on the roofs of several buildings and surrounding the camp.

The occupation bulldozers have been bulldozing and destroying the camp's infrastructure since 4:00 am local time. They also deliberately vandalized public and private property along Nablus Street, and destroyed the main water line feeding the camp.

At dawn today, the occupation forces stormed the city of Tulkarm, accompanied by four military bulldozers from its western axis, and roamed its main streets, specifically al-Alimi, al-Sikka, and Nablus Streets, amid intense flights of reconnaissance  warplanes.

Meanwhile, the occupation bulldozers also destroyed the vicinity of the al-Younis roundabout in the northern neighborhood of the city and the vicinity of the Aktaba roundabout east of Tulkarm.

Earlier yesterday, an Israeli drone bombed a house in al-Manshiya neighborhood in Nour Shams camp, killing Saeed the 24- year- old Izzat Jaber and wounding five others, including two in serious condition.

With the killing of Jaber, the number of Palestinians who were killed by Israeli forces in Tulkarm since the Israeli aggression against the Gaza Strip began on October 7, 2023 now rises to 114.
