Ammon News - The Israeli military has carried out a drone strike in the occupied West Bank city of Tulkarem, killing a Palestinian man.
Ashraf Nafi, a commander with the Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, was reported killed in the strike on the Tulkarem refugee camp, where intense fighting is ongoing between Israeli forces and Palestinian resistance groups, according to Al-Jazeera.
Earlier, the Israeli military had also shot a 30-year-old Palestinian man in the camp, leaving him in critical condition.
A woman was Tuesday morning killed and three civilians were injured by Israeli occupation army gunfire in Tulkarm camp.
The Palestinian Red Crescent said that it transferred a female slain civilian and three injuries from shrapnel from occupation bullets, including one in the eye, to Thabet Thabet Hospital, at a time when the occupation is preventing its crews from moving inside the Tulkarm camp and targeting them directly.
It indicated that it received a large number of distress calls inside the camp, and was unable to reach the wounded.
Local sources reported that a number of citizens were killed in Al-Hamam neighborhood after being targeted by an Israeli drone, and until this moment the occupation army is preventing ambulance crews from reaching them.
A young man, 30, was injured at dawn today, with three bullets in the thigh, hand and abdomen. He was transferred to the hospital to receive treatment.
More than 25 military vehicles, including a number of heavy bulldozers, stormed Tulkarm camp, and began bulldozing and vandalizing the infrastructure and citizens’ property, including vehicles and commercial stores, and placing rubble of dust and stones at the entrances to homes and closing the camp’s alleys with them.
The military operation took place mainly in the neighborhoods of "Qaqoun, Al-Balawneh, Abu Al-Ful, and schools at the northern main entrance, and the western entrance adjacent to the district, while it imposed its siege on all its entrances and the roads leading to it, amid intense gunfire at everything moving.
Meanwhile, the occupation forces raided a number of citizens’ homes in the vicinity of the camp, and searched them and subjected their owners to interrogation.
The Israeli bulldozing operations inside the camp's neighborhoods caused a number of electricity and water outages, and significant disruption to the Internet networks in the city and the camp, amid heavy drone aircraft flying at low altitude.
The storming of the camp was preceded by storming the city of Tulkarm from its western and southern axes, pushing more military reinforcements and bulldozers into its various neighborhoods, specifically in the eastern neighborhood, destroying the Martyrs’ Monument, and crushing a number of citizens’ vehicles in the area.
The occupation bulldozers also bulldozed a side of Nablus Street near the traffic light adjacent to the northern entrance to Tulkarm camp, and Al-Muqata’a Street at the western entrance to the camp, while a number of vehicles and a military bulldozer were stationed in the southern neighborhood of the city, Al-Haddadeen Street, and Al-Quds Open University Street.
Yesterday evening, a young man was injured by occupation bullets in the chest after the occupation forces stormed the city. He was transferred to the Martyr Thabet Thabet Governmental Hospital, where his condition was described as moderate to serious.
The occupation forces also raided a commercial store selling agricultural fertilizers, near the entrance to the camp, searched it and vandalized its contents.
