TULKARM, March 5, 2025 (WAFA) - Israeli occupation forces Wednesday evening deployed armored vehicles in the northern occupied West Bank governorate of Tulkarm, according to WAFA correspondent.

He said that just before the Iftar time, two “Eitan” armored vehicles made their way from the 'Einav checkpoint, at the eastern entrance of Anabta, and entered the town, motoring along the main road, intercepting vehicles and putting then civilians’ lives at risk.

He added that two other armored vehicles entered the city from the Jbara military checkpoint, south of the city, proceeding towards the Shobaki junction before making their way to the village of Shufa.

This deployment coincided with the deployment of Israeli military reinforcements, including vehicles and infantry units, in Tulkarm city and the adjoining refugee camps.

This also came as the Israeli aggression on the city and the refugee camps entered the 38th consecutive day, which resulted in extensive destruction of infrastructure and public and private property, including houses, facilities, and shops.

Meanwhile, eyewitnesses reported that Israeli patrols consisting of patrols were deployed in the various neighborhoods of the Tulkarm refugee camp, particularly in the Al-Matar neighborhood, where they ransacked several houses.

They added that the gun-toting soldiers ordered three families to leave their houses before 10 PM, citing their proximity to military barracks established in the neighborhood.

Meanwhile, Israeli military bulldozers demolished houses in the al-Hamam neighborhood of the camp, reducing them to rubble.
