Faisal Salama, head of the Popular Committee for Services in Tulkarm Camp, confirmed that Israeli occupation forces continue to occupy the camp and enforce a suffocating siege for the 30th consecutive day, forcing residents to flee at gunpoint.
In a statement on Tuesday, Salama added in a press statement that the occupation is wreaking havoc in homes, streets, and alleys, and destroying all the camp's facilities.
He stated that the ongoing Israeli aggression has led to the destruction of over 40 residential buildings, including approximately 100 apartments. Additionally, 10 homes have been set on fire, around 300 shops demolished, and hundreds of other homes have suffered partial damage, with countless residents losing their belongings.
Salama added that Israeli forces have forced over 12,000 residents to flee to Tulkarm and nearby villages through threats and intimidation. He highlighted that education has come to a complete halt, leaving 2,000 students unable to attend UNRWA schools in the camp for more than a month. Additionally, health services have been entirely disrupted.
The committee chairman emphasized that the ongoing assault has devastated the camp’s infrastructure on an unprecedented scale, including the destruction of electricity, water, and sewage networks, as well as the complete shutdown of internet and communication services.
The Israeli assault on Tulkarm city and its refugee camp has entered its second month, while the attack on Nur Shams camp has reached its 17th day. The ongoing military escalation and tight siege have caused widespread destruction to infrastructure and property, resulting in the martyrdom of 12 civilians, including men and women, as well as the injury and arrest of dozens.

In Jenin, the Israeli occupation has sustained its assault on the city and its refugee camp for the 36th consecutive day, leading to the martyrdom of 27 people, dozens of injuries and arrests, and extensive destruction of property and infrastructure.
The number of displaced people from the camp has reached 20,000, while the occupation has completely or partially destroyed approximately 430 houses and prevented 2,000 students from attending school. Since the beginning of the aggression, around 178 citizens from the city and the camp have been detained.
On Tuesday morning, the occupation forces withdrew from the town of Qabatiya, south of Jenin, after a 48-hour raid that left two people injured—one critically—and led to the arrest of several citizens. The assault caused extensive destruction to homes and businesses, obliterated water and electricity networks, bulldozed infrastructure, and demolished the town’s main garage.
The occupation forces also destroyed a bus belonging to the Orphan Care Society in Qabatiya and caused the closure of the local vegetable market, rendering it out of service. Additionally, they raided dozens of homes, turning some into military barracks.
