TULKARM, April 2, 2025 (WAFA) - The Israeli occupation forces continued their aggression on the city of Tulkarm and its camp for the 66th consecutive day, and on the Nur Shams camp for the 53rd day, amid an escalation in the field, including military reinforcements, house raids, and detentions.

Local sources reported that a young man was injured early Wednesday morning by Israeli occupation forces' bullets in the foot following a raid on the Shuweika suburb, north of the city.

The sources added that the occupation forces launched a large-scale arrest campaign, concentrated in the Dhahra area of ​​the suburb, targeting a number of people.

The occupation forces also detained Mohammad Fathi al-As'ad and his son Karim from their home near the housing area in the Iktaba suburb, east of the city.

Local sources added that occupation forces deployed in the Masqoufa area between the Shuweika and Iktaba neighborhoods, coinciding with the raid on the Dahra area in Shuweika.

The occupation forces dispatched military reinforcements toward the city and its two refugee camps, Tulkarm and Nur Shams, and deployed infantry forces and vehicles in the main neighborhoods and streets, amidst indiscriminate firing of live ammunition.

Eyewitnesses reported that occupation forces continued to forcibly displace residents from the Jabal al-Salihin area in the Nur Shams refugee camp, amidst a heavy military deployment, ongoing escalation, and a stifling siege of the camp.

This coincided with the incursion of vehicles and bulldozers, the vandalism and burning of homes, and the destruction of infrastructure.

The occupation forces continue the siege of the Tulkarm refugee camp and their deployment in its neighborhoods, despite the fact that the majority of its residents have been forcibly displaced after the complete destruction of its infrastructure, and the vandalism, demolition, and burning of dozens of homes and facilities.

Meanwhile, the occupation forces set up several surprise military checkpoints in and around the city, stopping and searching citizens' vehicles.

The occupation forces periodically set up military checkpoints on Nablus Street as part of a policy of restricting movement of citizens, especially after closing sections of this street with earth mounds in both directions. This coincided with the seizure of several homes there, converting them into military barracks and positioning their vehicles in their vicinity.

The ongoing aggression on the city and its two camps resulted in the killing of 13 people, including a child and two women, one of whom was eight months pregnant. Dozens were also injured and detained, and more than 4,000 families from the two camps were forcibly displaced, along with dozens of families from the northern neighborhood of the city.

The displacement occurred after the occupation forces seized their homes and converted a number of them into military barracks.

The aggression caused unprecedented destruction to the infrastructure, homes, and shops, which were subjected to total and partial demolition, burning, vandalism, looting, and theft.

The occupation forces completely destroyed 396 homes and partially destroyed 2,573 others in the Tulkarm and Nur Shams refugee camps, in addition to closing their entrances and alleys with earth mounds.
