TULKARM, June 14, 2025 (WAFA) – Israeli occupation forces today seized several homes across the Tulkarm Governorate in the northern West Bank, converting them into military outposts, according to local eyewitnesses and official sources.
In the village of Shufa, southeast of Tulkarm, Israeli soldiers stormed the home of Sabir Aref, forcibly evicted him and his family, and informed them they were not allowed to return for a week. The house was then turned into a military barracks.
Eyewitnesses added that Israeli forces also set up a military checkpoint between the villages of Shufa and Kafr al-Labad. They raided a residential building in the same area, where several displaced families from Tulkarm and Nour Shams refugee camps had been sheltering. The residents were forced to evacuate, and the top floor of the building was converted into a surveillance post and military installation.
In the northern Tulkarm area of al-Sha'rawiya, Israeli troops continued a large-scale incursion into the town of Zeita that began at dawn. Local sources reported that soldiers raided and searched numerous homes, expelled their occupants, and commandeered several of the properties for military use.
The army also erected checkpoints throughout the town and interrogated young men. Soldiers further climbed atop the town's main water tank structure, turning it into a lookout post.
