TULKARM, November 5, 2024 (WAFA) –A Palestinian Tuesday night sustained an injury from Israeli army gunfire in the course of the aggression on the Tulkarm and Nur Shams refugee camps, according to the Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS).
The PRCS said that its crews hospitalized a 63-year-old citizen with a live bullet to the face.
This came after two young men sustained live gunfire injuries after being shot by the occupation forces in Tulkarm camp, one sustained an injury in the foot and the other in the hand.
Meanwhile, the occupation forces deployed more military reinforcements into the camps as they continued onslaught on them for 10 hours.
WAFA correspondent reported that additional convoys of military vehicles stormed the camps from the direction of the western entrance of Tulkarm city, at a time when large numbers of soldiers deployed in their streets and alleyways.
She added that the occupation army vehicles besieged the two camps, blocking all entrances as snipers were on the rooftops of buildings.
The occupation bulldozers ravaged the camps, causing severe destruction to houses, infrastructure and property, including the water pipeline network.
The occupation forces burned a commercial store belonging to the family of the Hussam Al-Malah in the middle of Tulkarm camp, causing suffocation cases. Al-Malah was slain by an Israel special force a week ago.
In the Nur Shams camp, the occupation soldiers torched a store at the al-Mansihiyya neighborhood. The Civil Defense crews arrived at the scene and managed to extinguish the fire, preventing it from spreading to other stores.
During the raid into al-Manshiyya, the gun-toting soldiers ransacked dozens of houses, turning them upside down, turning some of them into military outposts and subjecting the inhabitants to interrogation.
They detained and severely beat Palestinian after storming his house in the Iktaba neighbourhood, east of Tulkarm, before blowing up his vehicle.
This came after the Israeli occupation forces intensified their military operations in various cities of the occupied West Bank on Tuesday, resulting in the killing of four Palestinians, with fierce armed clashes reported with invading Israeli forces.
As part of these operations, an Israeli occupation drone assassinated two Palestinian men near the Martyrs’ Triangle in Qabatiya, south of Jenin. The victims were identified as Muhammad and Shawqi Asasousi.
WAFA reported earlier Tuesday that the military operation in Qabatiya has been underway for several hours with the Israeli occupation forces sending military reinforcement to the entrances of the town.
The Israeli offensive in the occupied West Bank since the start of the genocide on Gaza last year has claimed the lives of over 760 Palestinians, 18 of whom are women and 166 children, and over 6,500 recorded injuries, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health numbers.
Last September, Israeli media reported that Israel now considers the West Bank a battlefield, following days of escalated operations.
In addition to the casualties, significant damage has been inflicted on the infrastructure of cities like Jenin, Tulkarm, Nablus, and Tubas amongst others.
