Tulkarm – Ma’an – The Israeli occupation continues to bulldoze the infrastructure in Tulkarm camp, after storming the camp since Monday afternoon.

The head of the Popular Committee for Services in Tulkarm Camp, Faisal Salama, told the official agency that the camp is now experiencing a state of tight siege from all its entrances and roads leading to it, noting that the occupation forces have deployed snipers in all areas that reveal it, and are firing live ammunition intensively and randomly at anyone who moves.

He added that the occupation bulldozers are destroying and vandalizing what remains of the infrastructure and citizens’ property, explaining that the bulldozing included the service street and schools at the main northern entrance, and the neighborhoods of Balawneh, Al-Ghanem, Qaqun, Al-Murabba’a, Al-Hamam, and the center of the camp.

The excavation caused high earthen barriers made of asphalt and stones, which closed the roads.

Salama explained that the occupation destroyed the electricity lines
feeding the camp, which caused a power outage in large parts of it, in addition to the water outage.

He described the situation inside the camp as very difficult, and said: “We were unable to catch our breath after the last aggression, until the occupation surprised us with a new aggression that carried in its essence another destruction of what remained of the camp.”

Large forces of the occupation army, supported by dozens of heavy vehicles and bulldozers, stormed the city of Tulkarm this afternoon from its western entrance.

The occupation sent military reinforcements amidst intensive low-altitude reconnaissance flights, imposed a tight siege on the Martyr Thabet Thabet Governmental Hospital and the Israa Specialized Hospital, and hindered the work of ambulances by searching them and checking the identities of their crews and patients while transporting them to hospitals.

It is noteworthy that the occupation forces launched an aggression on the city of Tulkarm and its two camps, Tulkarm and Nour Shams, a
t dawn last Wednesday, which lasted 48 hours, and resulted in the martyrdom of 4 citizens, a number of wounded, and great destruction to the infrastructure and citizens’ property.
