Tulkarm, Nur Shams
Israeli occupation forces also continued the raid on the city of Tulkarm and its two camps, Tulkarm and Nur Shams, for the 16th consecutive day.

The army is imposing a tight siege on the Tulkarm and Nur Shams camps, and have increased the deployment of their vehicles and foot patrols in their surroundings and neighborhoods. This occurred amid raids on homes, a large number of which have become empty after their residents were forcibly displaced, interspersed with heavy and random live ammunition, especially at night.
Infrastructure Destroyed
Residents from Tulkarm camp, who remained in their homes on the outskirts of the camp, described the situation as terrifying, as it has intensified over the past three days, particularly at night.
This is not an act of peace by Israel but a deliberate attempt to systematically destroy Palestinian homes throughout the Occupied West Bank.
