Ammon News - The Israeli occupation forces continued the aggression on the city of Tulkarm and its camp for the 11th consecutive day, amidst massive destruction, mass displacement and unprecedented military reinforcements.

Earlier today, the occupation forces fired randomly and intensively at the homes of civilians in Tulkarm camp and Al-Sikka Street near the Iktaba suburb. No injuries were reported, however.

The occupation forces continue to send more additional military reinforcements, especially infantry, from the direction of the Tsnaoz military camp west of the city, passing through its streets leading to the camp.

She added that these forces are deployed heavily in front of the main northern entrance to the camp, and in the agricultural lands opposite it, and are conducting combing and searching operations in them, as they seize several residential buildings surrounding and exposing the camp, and have turned them into military outposts.

Meanwhile, Israeli occupation soldiers are widely deployed inside the camp's alleys and lanes, as large numbers of sniper teams are deployed inside the homes, who wait for everything moving and shoot at it.

The camp is experiencing a tragic situation with a complete siege, including extensive raids on homes by the occupation forces in a barbaric manner, vandalism and destruction, and the expulsion of those present in them and threatening them with weapons, which led to the displacement of thousands of residents from all its neighborhoods, leaving only hundreds who live on the outskirts of the camp, specifically in Qaqun neighborhood.

The escalating Israeli aggression on the city and its camp has caused comprehensive and unprecedented destruction in the camp, affecting the entire infrastructure of electricity, water, communications and internet networks, in addition to the total and partial destruction of dozens of homes, shops and institutions, and their exposure to burning and bombing, which deepened the suffering of the camp and the remaining residents.

Videos and photos taken by citizens from inside the camp showed the massive destruction that befell the homes in Al-Ghanem neighborhood, from partially destroyed homes and others completely burned, and its alleys filled with rubble, and a dilapidated infrastructure, and an area completely empty of residents, as if the place had been hit by an earthquake.

Civilians who are still in their homes in the Qaqun neighborhood, and trapped amidst the destruction, launched their appeals for urgent humanitarian aid to be sent to them, including food, water, medicines for the elderly and chronic diseases, and baby milk, especially with the interruption of water, electricity, and basic services as a result of this escalating aggression.

Yesterday, the occupation army prevented the Palestinian Red Crescent Society crews who were distributing aid to the residents inside the camp, from continuing the distribution process under the pretext that the deadline it had set for them had expired, and forced them to leave.

In the city of Tulkarm, infantry forces were deployed heavily in the eastern neighborhood of the city, and are raiding homes, specifically those located at Abu Safiya junction adjacent to and close to the camp, amidst breaking and vandalizing their contents, checking the IDs of their residents and subjecting them to interrogation, and converting a number of them into military barracks.

Last night, the occupation forces stationed around the Martyr Thabet Thabet Governmental Hospital fired heavy bullets at the live broadcast cameras of the local al-Salam TV while they were covering the aggression on the camp, which caused the broadcast to be completely cut off.

A force of infantry soldiers also stormed the building of Al-Adawiya Girls' School, which is close to the Martyr Thabet Thabet Governmental Hospital, and deployed snipers at its windows, while continuing its siege of the hospital, and using the adjacent Al-Adawiya Commercial Building as a military outpost, amid a heavy presence of infantry soldiers at its entrances, obstructing the work of ambulances and medical crews.
