Tulkarm: The Zionist occupation forces intensified their aggression in Tulkarm by blowing up a house in the Balawneh neighborhood of Tulkarm camp last night.
According to National Iraqi News Agency, eyewitnesses reported that the forces destroyed a house belonging to the Balawneh family, igniting a fire inside. The destruction extended to citizens' properties, including homes and shops across different camp neighborhoods. Residents were forced to evacuate, and parts of the camp were turned into military barracks.
The occupation's bulldozers razed the camp's infrastructure, particularly in Balawneh, the Agency, and the Clinic, along with its northern and western entrances, which were blocked with earth mounds. The forces also entered the Shuwaika suburb north of Tulkarm, positioning themselves in front of the house of martyr Tamer Fuqaha, whose family received a demolition notice two months ago.
Faisal Salama, head of the Popular Committee for Tulkarm Camp Services, stated that the ongoing aggression resulted in complete destruction of the infrastructure, previously damaged by earlier incursions. Salama mentioned efforts to restore services after a recent aggression were thwarted by renewed destruction of streets, water and electricity networks, roads, sewage, and communications, setting back progress by years.
Salama further noted that residential homes and shops suffered damage, with some burned and demolished. The occupation forces are conducting continuous bulldozing operations, converting sites into military barracks, deploying snipers, and using forcibly evacuated residents for field investigations and as human shields.
The camp is experiencing a significant displacement, with over 1,000 refugees now distributed in the suburbs of Dhenaba, Iktaba, and Shuwaika, as well as the city's neighborhoods. These areas have opened mosques, centers, and associations to accommodate displaced individuals.
