TULKARM, February 10, 2025 (WAFA) – Israeli occupation forces continue the extensive aggression on the city of Tulkarm and its two camps, Tulkarm and Nour Shams, for the 15th consecutive day, amid military escalation and the imposition of a tight siege that exacerbates the suffering of the local residents.
The occupation forces sent more military reinforcements, while carrying out extensive raids on homes while firing live ammunition, and hearing the sounds of huge explosions, especially in Nour Shams camp, and destroying the infrastructure and citizens' property.
The occupation forces are still imposing a tight siege on Nour Shams camp, and preventing people from leaving it, while raiding homes in the neighborhoods of Jabal al-Nasr, Jabal al-Salihin, and al-Manshiya, and turning them into military outposts, and detaining their residents in difficult conditions, including women and children, while seizing residential buildings in areas in the suburbs of Dhnaba and Iktaba adjacent to the camp and turning them into military outposts.
The occupation bulldozers also caused extensive damage to the infrastructure on Nablus Street, which connects Nour Shams camp to the town of Anabta, passing through Bal'a roundabout, east of the governorate, in conjunction with the bulldozing and destruction of the infrastructure at the entrances to Nour Shams camp and in its neighborhoods, specifically the neighborhoods of Al-Manshiya, Al-Qalansawe and Al-Maslakh. Large parts of homes and shops were destroyed.
The occupation forces are still imposing their siege on Tulkarm camp, and are firing heavy bullets randomly, seizing homes and buildings in all its neighborhoods, and deploying infantry soldiers in them.
They also continued to seize a number of homes in its vicinity and convert them into military outposts and sniper positions.
The daily suffering of people who are still in their homes on the outskirts of the camp is exacerbated by the tight siege and the accompanying power, water, communications and internet outages due to the complete destruction of the infrastructure, in addition to the severe shortage of food, drinking water and medicines, especially for the elderly who suffer from chronic diseases.
In Tulkarm city, the occupation forces deployed infantry soldiers in the city's neighborhoods, specifically the eastern, southern and northern ones, raided a number of homes, and seized surveillance camera recordings, while tightening the siege on the eastern neighborhood, especially in al-Muqata'a Street area, and preventing the movement of residents who issued appeals to provide their basic needs.
The occupation forces also continued the siege of the Martyr Thabet Thabet Governmental Hospital, deploying their vehicles and infantry soldiers at its entrances, obstructing the work of ambulances and medical crews, and subjecting anyone who wanted to enter the hospital to inspection and interrogation.
Last night, the Ministry of Health confirmed, in a brief statement, the killing of Iyas Adli Fakhri Al-Akhras, 20, in Nour Shams camp, bringing the number of the slain Palestinians in the camp to three as, earlier today, both Sundus Jamal Muhammad Shalabi, 23, and her fetus, and Rahaf Fouad Abdullah Al-Ashqar, 21, were killed, and seven others were injured.
Meanwhile, the occupation forces continued for the third day to close the Jabara Bridge at the southern entrance to the city of Tulkarm, which connects the city to the villages of Al-Kafriyat and the governorates of the West Bank.
