TULKARM,  February 5, 2025 (WAFA) – The Israeli occupation forces continue the ongoing aggression on the city of Tulkarm and its camp for the tenth consecutive day, amid military reinforcements and the forced displacement of hundreds of families from the camp under threat.

Tulkarm camp is going through difficult times with the continued siege imposed by the occupation forces on it, and what has occurred since the first day of the aggression of complete destruction of the infrastructure and public and private properties, which were subjected to bulldozing, bombing and burning, and what accompanied it of raiding homes and expelling their residents at gunpoint, seizing them and turning them into military outposts.

WAFA correspondent said that the occupation forces pushed more of their vehicles into the camp, and deployed infantry patrols inside all its neighborhoods and surroundings, at a time when they seized more homes and commercial buildings adjacent to it, specifically in the eastern neighborhood of the city, and Nablus Street adjacent to its northern entrance, and towards the Martyr Thabet Thabet Governmental Hospital.

The forced displacement of entire families from inside the camp towards the city continued under threat of arms, amid the efforts of the Palestinian Red Crescent Society crews who work daily to evacuate the elderly and the sick and transfer them to shelters spread throughout the city and its suburbs and a number of villages and towns in the governorate.

Eyewitnesses from inside the camp told WAFA that the camp has become empty of its residents, and only a few families remain, living without the minimum necessities of life, with a severe shortage of food, water, medicine and baby milk, in light of the water, electricity and communications outages.

They added that the occupation forces are spreading terror among the residents to force them to leave, by blowing up homes and shops, which is what happened yesterday when they blew up three homes and barbarically removed the doors, which is one of the most difficult days that have passed throughout the aggression.

In Tulkarm city, the occupation forces detained at dawn today a young man after raiding a house in the eastern neighborhood of the city, who is a resident of Nour Shams camp, as two as others from their homes in the Shuweika suburb north of the city.

The occupation forces raided homes in the eastern neighborhood of the city, searched them and destroyed their contents, checked the IDs of their residents, subjected them to field investigation, and seized the upper ones and turned them into military outposts after expelling their owners.

They also raided other homes in Iktaba suburb east of the city, belonging to the families of Al-Khawli, Al-Huji and Sheikh Mazhar, and interrogated their owners and detained them for some time before releasing them.

The occupation forces continue the siege on the Martyr Thabet Thabet Governmental Hospital, deploying infantry at its entrances, and seizing the adjacent Al-Adawiya Commercial Building since the first day of the aggression, turning it into a military outpost, while the occupation vehicles are stationed at its entrance near the hospital and preventing approaching the place.

The occupation forces are working around the hospital to obstruct the work of ambulances and their medical crews, as they detained a Palestinian Red Crescent ambulance last night while it was transferrfing a patient to the hospital, and checked the IDs of the patient, his companion and the ambulance officer and detained them for more than half an hour before releasing them.
