TULKARM, March 1, 2025 (WAFA) – The occupation military bulldozers began demolishing several Palestinian houses and residential buildings in Nour Shams camp, east of Tulkarm city.
WAFA correspondent said that the occupation pushed its heavy bulldozers into the camp this morning, and began the process of demolishing the houses and destroying their surroundings, starting from the vicinity of Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq Mosque, amid intensive flying of reconnaissance aircraft at a low altitude.
This escalation came after the occupation notified five days ago to demolish 11 houses under the pretext of paving a road starting from the camp square towards Al-Manshiya neighborhood. The houses belong to the families of Yousef, Jabali, Mar'i, Abu Shalabiya, Irani, Shihab, Younis, and Ghanem.
On the second day of the notification, the occupation forces gave the owners of the targeted houses three hours to enter the camp and evacuate their belongings from their homes.
In the same context, the occupation forces continued their raids on citizens' homes in Jabal al-Nasr neighborhood, in continuation of the raids they carried out last night, forcing its residents to leave by force, and giving them a few minutes to leave, while firing live bullets and sound bombs to terrorize and intimidate them.
Since the first day of the ongoing occupation aggression for the 21st consecutive day, the camp has witnessed a large displacement movement among its residents, including women, children, the elderly and the sick, concentrated in the neighborhoods of al-Manshiya, al-Maslakh, Jabal al-Nasr and al-Salihin, where their number exceeded 5,500 displaced persons, who headed to shelters and the homes of their relatives in the city, its suburbs and its countryside.
This escalation comes within the framework of the ongoing aggression on the city and its two camps, for the 33rd consecutive day, amidst large military reinforcements of vehicles, bulldozers and infantry units, which are imposing a siege on the Tulkarm and Nour Shams camps, and are stationed on Nablus Street, amidst their seizure of a number of residential buildings and turning them into military barracks.
