TUBAS, February 5, 2024 (WAFA) – Israeli occupation forces Wednesday continued to carry out house-to-house raids in Al-Far'a refugee camp, south of the northern occupied West Bank city of Tubas, according to local sources.

They reported that the occupying forces carried out large-scale raids, breaking into many houses, ransacking their contents, and causing extensive destruction.

They added that the occupation forces severely beat several young men and continued to forcibly displace more families from their houses, which they turned into sniper outposts.

The occupation forces have continued a massive onslaught on Tammun town and al-Faraa refugee camp for the fourth consecutive day, maintaining a tight siege and causing a shortage of water, a lack of essential supplies such as infant formula, diapers, and medicine.

They deliberately ploughed through infrastructure, destroying main water pipelines, leading to a water shortage and causing a power outage in parts of the town and the camp.

The onslaught comes as the occupation forces continue to wage large-scale aggressions on Jenin city and camp as well as on the city and the refugee camp of Tulkarm.

This comes as the occupation forces tightened military measures across the occupied West Bank hours after the release of 90 Palestinian prisoners as part of the Gaza ceasefire went into effect, dismembering and isolating cities and governorates one from the other using military gates, barriers and concrete blocks.

The Israeli military measures are in parallel with ongoing attacks by Israeli colonists across the West Bank to terrorize Palestinians and displace them from their lands to seize them and build illegal Jewish colonies that separate Palestinian communities.

Closures besides to other measures, taken under the guise of security, are intended to entrench Israel’s 58-year-old military occupation of the West Bank and its settler colonial project which it enforces with routine and frequently deadly violence against Palestinians.
