TULKARM, March 6, 2025 (WAFA) – The occupation forces continue the aggression on the city of Tulkarm for the 39th consecutive day, and for the 26th day on Nour Shams camp, amid military reinforcements, demolition of homes, and destruction of infrastructure.
The occupation forces began this morning to demolish a number of homes and residential buildings in Al-Manshiya neighborhood in Nour Shams camp, after they notified yesterday of their decision to demolish 17 homes, under the pretext of paving a new road aimed at changing the geographical features of the camp.
The occupation forces had given the owners of these homes two hours to enter the camp and evacuate their belongings and supplies from their homes, while obstructing them and firing live bullets at them to terrorize them.
Nour Shams camp has been seeing a continuous escalation since the beginning of the Israeli aggression, which continues to carry out repeated demolitions and raids on homes after blowing up their doors, forcing civilians to forcibly leave them, and turning them into military outposts, in addition to the widespread and complete destruction of infrastructure and property, including homes and shops that were demolished, blown up, and burned.
In the past few days, the occupation bulldozers have demolished more than 11 homes, as part of a plan to pave a road extending from the camp square to al-Manshiyya neighborhood.
In Tulkarm camp, the occupation continues its tight siege on it, preventing entry or exit from it, and deploying its foot patrols in its surroundings and alleys, amidst raiding homes that are empty of their residents, vandalizing them and destroying their contents, while at night it forced citizens to leave their homes in the airport neighborhood after raiding it.
Eyewitnesses reported that the occupation bulldozers continue to level streets and properties, and close the entrances and alleys of the neighborhoods with earth mounds, including the main northern entrance to the camp, which is seeing unprecedented destruction in all aspects of life.
Meanwhile, the occupation forces sent military reinforcements accompanied by a fuel tanker to the city and its two camps, and positioned themselves in front of the residential buildings they are seizing on Nablus Street linking the "Tulkarm and Nour Shams" camps, and obstructed the movement of vehicles and citizens.
The occupation forces also continue to seize a number of houses in the suburbs of Dhnaba and Ezbet al-Jarad, east of Tulkarm, after raiding them, forcing their residents to leave, and turning them into military barracks and sniper locations.
The Israeli forces had brought in a number of armored vehicles from their military checkpoints set up at the southern and eastern entrances to Tulkarm, and stormed the town of Anabta and the southern entrance to the city, and roamed the streets, before returning to the checkpoints.
The ongoing aggression on the city and its two camps has so far resulted in the killing of 13 citizens, including a child and two women, one of whom is eight months pregnant, in addition to the injury and detention of dozens, and the forced displacement of more than 9,000 displaced persons from Nour Shams camp, and 12,000 displaced persons from Tulkarm camp.
