TULKARM, May 4, 2026 (WAFA) – Israeli occupation forces on Monday beefed up military measures in the Tulkarm refugee camp in the northern occupied West Bank, according to WAFA correspondent.
She reported that Israeli army bulldozers closed several roads in the camp and its surroundings, particularly those connecting it with the nearby Dhnaba neighborhood, erecting earth mounds, amid a heavy deployment of military vehicles and infantry units.
She added that the occupation forces deployed additional reinforcements, including vehicles and bulldozers, into the camp through the Nitzanei Oz military gate west of the city, as part of an ongoing escalation as reconnaissance drones hovered overhead.
She also reported that the occupying forces ordered an unidentified number of residents to leave their homes in the vicinity of the camp, particularly near Ajyal Hall Street, Hanoun Square, and the western parts of Dhnaba neighborhood, under the pretext of carrying out demolition operations inside the camp.
Israeli occupation forces have been waging aggression on the city of Tulkarm and the nearby refugee camps of Tulkarm and Nur Shams for the 463rd consecutive day, amid a tight siege, accompanied by intermittent heavy live fire, further exacerbating the suffering of forcibly displaced residents and deepening the humanitarian crisis in the area.
