TULKARM, September 11, 2025 (WAFA) – Israeli occupation forces imposed a tight siege on the city of Tulkarm on Thursday after closing the iron gates at its southern and eastern entrances, according to WAFA correspondent.

He said that Israeli troops closed the Jabara Bridge gate at the city’s southern entrance and sealed off the gates of the Ennab military checkpoint to the east, barring the movement of vehicles.

Additionally, Israel forces opened live ammunition towards residents and vehicles in the western neighborhood, specifically around the Netzanioz gate, as a powerful explosion rocked the city. Reports indicated that several injuries occurred, though the exact number and condition remain unknown due to the blockade and the army’s denial of ambulance access to the area.

The Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) affirmed that the occupation forces prevented medical crews from reaching the wounded individuals near the western checkpoint.

This escalation comes amid the ongoing Israeli aggression on the city of Tulkarm and its two refugee camps, Tulkarm and Nur Shams, which has entered its 228th consecutive day amid daily raids and strict military measures targeting residents and their property.
