As the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip continues for the 103rd day in a row; the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) continues its violations in the cities and villages of the West Bank, leaving a number of Palestinians dead and injured.
On Tuesday morning, the IOF killed 4 young Palestinians in a drone bombing on Al-Tammam neighbourhood in Tulkarm camp. The drone directly targeted a group of young men, killing 4 and seriously injuring others, bringing the death toll of Palestinians in the West Bank this morning only to seven.
The Palestinian Red Crescent announced that its crews transported the bodies of 4 people killed to the Martyr Thabet Thabet Governmental Hospital in Tulkarm, while the IOF prevented ambulances of the Palestinian Red Crescent from entering the camp to transport the injured. They also surrounded the site of the bombing, and foot patrols were deployed in its vicinity.
Large forces of occupation vehicles, accompanied by two military bulldozers, stormed Tulkarm at dawn from its western, northern and southern entrances, and besieged the Tulkarm camp from all its entrances by deploying their vehicles in the streets and neighborhoods leading to it, and deployed their snipers in the high-rise buildings at the entrances to the camp.
A number of vehicles were stationed at the entrances to the Al-Israa Specialised Hospital in the Western District and the Martyr Thabet Thabet Governmental Hospital near the camp, and prevented exit or entry to it, and at the entrance to the emergency entrance, where it detained its crews, searched the ambulance, and stopped it from moving.
The occupation bulldozers began demolishing the entrance to the northern camp, destroyed the infrastructure and citizens’ property, including cars, walls, and the entrances to a number of homes and shops, and a memorial, while they stormed the Al-Rabayah, Al-Ghanim, Al-Nadi, and Al-Balawneh neighbourhoods, and deployed infantry forces in their alleys.
The Red Crescent reported two injuries inside Tulkarm camp, one with live bullets in the thigh, and the other with live bullet fragments in the eye.
On Nablus Street in Tulkarm, the IOF stopped a car, detained its passengers, and subjected them to interrogation before arresting them.
The IOF arrested the freed prisoner, Mohammad Issam Qafini, 25, after raiding his house east of Tulkarm, and destroying its contents. The freed prisoner, Nimr Mufid Al-Miskawi, 44, from his home, east of the city, and Mohammad Raed Abdo, from his home, southern of the city.
The occupation patrols were deployed in various neighbourhoods of the city of Tulkarm, specifically the western, southern, and eastern neighbourhoods leading to the Tulkarm camp. They raided a number of citizens’ homes after breaking their doors, vandalizing their contents, and subjecting their residents to interrogation.
Since the outbreak of the war on the Gaza Strip on October 7, 2023, the IOF has intensified its operations in the West Bank, resulting in hundreds of deaths and thousands of detainees, and destroying infrastructure in many areas.
Various parts of the West Bank, including Jerusalem, are being subjected daily to raids and incursions into villages and towns by the IOF, where arrests, shooting live bullets and gas bombs at Palestinians take place, in addition to repeated settlers attacks.
The Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip and the West Bank constitutes a blatant violation of international humanitarian law and human rights, as it exposes the lives and property of civilians to extreme danger.
