NNA - The Israeli occupation forces continue the aggression on the governorates of Jenin and Tulkarm for more than two weeks, leaving 29 slain Palestinians, dozens of injuries, detentions, the demolition of homes, and forced displacement, amidst widespread destruction of property and infrastructure, while it withdrew from al-Far'a camp south of Tubas, after an aggression that lasted ten days.

Since the beginning of the aggression, Israel has imposed arbitrary measures at its military checkpoints near most of the entrances and exits of the governorates in the West Bank, and closed most of the gates of villages and towns, in an attempt to explode the situation, in preparation for creating a state of violent chaos, to facilitate the annexation of the West Bank, which was evident in the brutal attacks committed by terrorist colonist gangs against Palestinian civilians, their towns, properties, homes, lands, and holy sites.

The Israeli occupation continues its aggression on the city of Jenin and its camp for the twenty-third consecutive day, leaving 25 slain people and dozens of injuries.

Six citizens were injured yesterday evening after the Israeli occupation forces beat them in the city of Jenin.

The Palestinian Red Crescent reported that its crews received six injured people from the Jalameh military checkpoint east of the city after the occupation soldiers beat them. They were transferred to the hospital.

The Israeli occupation forces also blew up the house of the slain Palestinian youth Nidal Al-Amer's family in Jenin camp. The occupation had given the family a demolition notice of the two-story house last Monday.

The occupation bulldozers destroyed the streets and citizens' properties in the eastern neighborhood, where they bulldozed Al-Madaris Street and several other streets in the neighborhood. They also destroyed citizens' vehicles, properties, and part of some homes in it.

According to the mayor of Jenin, Mohammad Jarar, the city has suffered economic losses exceeding two billion dollars in infrastructure, buildings, and stores over the past three years, after being subjected to 104 continuous raids.

Jarar describes this aggression and evacuation as "the worst ever", coinciding with difficult economic conditions, and that what is happening in Jenin is a catastrophe on the humanitarian level, as 15,000 citizens were displaced in a small city like Jenin, which is accompanied by very difficult economic conditions.

For the 23rd consecutive day, the occupation continues to demolish and burn citizens' homes in the camp, amid intensive flying of Israeli drones, as the occupation destroyed the street leading to the purification station in Jenin and parts of it, and continues to send military reinforcements accompanied by bulldozers to the city of Jenin and the surroundings of the camp.

The occupation forces continue to demolish, blow up and burn homes in Jenin camp, specifically in the neighborhoods of Al-Aloub, Al-Fallujah, Al-Bishr and Al-Damj, amid rising columns of smoke and hearing successive explosions.

Yesterday, the occupation forces stormed the town of Ya'bad, south of Jenin, and the town of Ramana to the west, where a foot force stormed the town and combed its streets.

Meanwhile in Tulkarm, the Israeli aggression on the city of and its camp has entered its 17th day, and its fourth day on the Nour Shams camp, amidst the ongoing siege, house raids, and forced displacement of residents, accompanied by a wide-scale detention campaign.

WAFA correspondent said that the occupation forces sent more military reinforcements towards the city and its camps last night, and deployed infantry in various areas and neighborhoods, amidst heavy live ammunition and drones.

In the city of Tulkarm, the Israeli occupation forces detained, late last night, a number of displaced citizens from the Tulkarm and Nour Shams camps, after raiding the Othman bin Affan al-Jadid Mosque in the center of the city, and removing the displaced people present there, and investigating them in the field, before detaining them. 

In the early hours of this morning, the occupation forces detained two women from villages east of Tulkarm after raiding their homes.

A young man, 19, was injured by the occupation forces' bullets in the town of Kafr Al-Labad east of Tulkarm, after they surrounded one of the houses there and he was transferred to the hospital.

The occupation forces are still imposing a siege on the eastern neighborhood of Tulkarm, especially the area near its camp, and are seizing three buildings there as military outposts and sniper positions, and preventing citizens from leaving their homes to secure their basic needs or even appear on windows and balconies.

The residents of this neighborhood continue to appeal to all responsible parties, including the Red Cross and the Red Crescent, to take urgent action to check on the conditions of the families, provide food supplies and health services, especially for the elderly and those with chronic diseases, and facilitate the movement of citizens.

Meanwhile, Nour Shams camp saw a new wave of mass displacement of dozens of families, under threat and intimidation from the occupation, amidst the firing of live ammunition and the sound of explosions from time to time.

The occupation forces raid citizens' homes, search them, destroy their contents, subject their residents to field investigation and abuse, and detain a number of them.

The occupation bulldozers also continue to bulldoze and destroy the infrastructure and property in various neighborhoods of the camp, starting from Jabal al-Nasr, al-Salihin, al-Manshiya, and al-Maslakh, reaching the internal neighborhoods, in addition to bulldozing Nablus Street along the camp entrances and completely destroying it, and blew up three houses.

In Tulkarm camp, the occupation forces intensified their military presence and deployed infantry inside the camp's neighborhoods and empty homes, turning them into military outposts, amidst heavy live bullets, and burned a house belonging to al-Awfi family in Hanoun Square neighborhood.

The occupation forces continued to seize additional homes and residential buildings around the camp, specifically in the northern and eastern neighborhoods of the city, and turned them into military outposts and sniper positions.

People who did not leave their homes on the outskirts of the camp appealed for the delivery of food supplies, drinking water, medicines and baby milk, in light of the worsening humanitarian suffering as a result of the interruption of all basic services, including water, electricity and communications, after the occupation destroyed the camp's infrastructure.

Additionally, the occupation continues to close the gate of Jabara Bridge at the southern entrance to the city of Tulkarm, separating it from the villages of Al-Kafriyat for the fifth consecutive day.

Meanwhile, the Israeli occupation forces withdrew today from Al-Far'a camp, south of Tubas, after a ten-day aggression.

During this aggression, the occupation displaced dozens of families from their homes in the camp towards the city of Tubas and the towns of Tamoun and Aqaba.

The camp has suffered from a difficult humanitarian situation over the past ten days, after the occupation besieged the camp and closed all its main and secondary entrances, which left hundreds of families without water or food supplies, in addition to a shortage of medicines, especially for those with chronic diseases.

This aggression, in which hundreds of soldiers, dozens of patrols, and a number of heavy bulldozers participated, included great destruction of the infrastructure and citizens' property, the bombing and removal of doors from a number of homes, and the demolition of parts of the Popular Committee building.

Local sources said that the occupation raided dozens of houses in the camp, conducted field investigations with their residents, and turned some of them into military barracks after forcing the residents to leave them, as the number of families forced to leave the camp ranged between 200-250.

During this aggression, the occupation arrested about thirty young men from the camp, 22 of whom were later released.

The occupation forces had obstructed the work of medical teams throughout the days of the aggression, and prevented them on more than one occasion from transferring sick cases from the camp, and raided the medical point affiliated with them in Al-Far'a camp.

Since this morning, citizens began returning to their homes in the camp and inspecting them after the occupation withdrew from them.--WAFA
