TULKAREM, March 10, 2025 (WAFA) – For the 43rd consecutive day, Israeli occupation forces continue their aggression on Tulkarem city and its refugee camp, and for the 30th day on the Nur Shams camp, amid military reinforcements, an ongoing siege and widespread home raids.
reported that Israeli forces deployed military reinforcements to the city and its camps, spreading infantry units throughout the neighborhoods of the camps and their surroundings, while firing live ammunition and stun grenades to terrorize the citizens.
The occupation forces also maintain their military presence in front of the homes and residential buildings they have seized and turned into military outposts on Nablus Street, which connects the Tulkarem and Nur Shams camps. At the same time, the forces continue to stop and search passing vehicles, checking passengers' identity cards.

In the Tulkarem camp, the occupation forces intensified their foot patrols in all its neighborhoods and took positions in several areas. Forces raided homes and commercial shops after breaking down and blowing up their doors, and vandalizing their contents, while firing random live ammunition.
